INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLING
ASORES Ltd provides assistance to boarding school and accommodation of students. Within the boarding houses, International diversity is celebrated and shared. Within this rich mix of people, students come to see themselves as global citizens who enjoy getting to understand different cultures. Living together at UK school boarding, they engage with each other’s language, food and traditions as part of daily life. Past students often remark on how much they appreciated having the opportunity to learn firsthand about life in other countries.
International students can board at UK from year 7 (age11+). The younger boarders live in smaller, family oriented houses, whilst our sixth form students board in larger houses with more independence. Some of the Upper Sixth Students live ‘semi independent’ in small houses, giving them some experience of living on their own and providing an excellent foundation for university life.
English language Development
For many students who come to the UK. Learning to communicate in English is their top priority. They may wish to prepare for further education or simply want to have the language for use in their future life. At UK International Schooling it is important that the students we accept have a standard of English that allows them to integrate in to the school community and participate fully in school life. This, in turn, allows communicators who are fluent in English. To study International Boarding (IB) at UK as an International student a minimum English level of C1 is required. For A Levels the minimum level required is B2.
