Barnes Guardianship whilst studying at York College in the UK

Since 1975 Barnes Educational Services has been placing students at exceptional UK colleges and schools, providing host family and a total care guardianship package.

Being a family business, we do not place high volumes of students, so we can provide a very comprehensive and personal service.

As former teachers we understand the support that is required to allow our students to excel whilst studying at this UK college.

• We personally organise your stay at York College
• We take full responsibility for your well-being
• A visit prior to the study period is welcomed
• Arrangement of an airport transfer on arrival
• Advice regarding student insurance
• Availability of the BARNES family at all time (we share our mobile numbers with you)
• A ‘Total Study Care Package’ (more than just guardianship)
• Our strength: selecting caring host families
• Host family relationship prior to travelling
• Host family accommodation with own bedroom and board
• Orientation meeting at York College and BARNES on arrival
• BARNES local representative support throughout the study period
• Introduction to local activities outside of college to help build additional like-minded friends
