Worldwide Bronze Package

This guardianship package is for students who are aged 16 and older. 

Often, we find that older students are more mature.  SOGA realises the importance of giving them their own sense of independence. Which is why we have designed the Bronze Package. 

This package includes elements of accommodation and practical assistance, academic support and pastoral care.

Accommodation and Practical Assistance: 

SOGA will provide a host family for your child to stay with. Our team will make sure that the host home is comfortable and clean.  All to ensure that your child will be safe and looked after. 

In order to be compliant with child safety laws and legislation, we verify all of our host families. This includes police checks. 

The SOGA team will arrange any transport between airport, host family and school.

Academic Support:

• There will be a named person who will direct the student through their boarding life
• SOGA will send a representative to attend any Parent Teacher Meetings
• We will liaise with the school on curriculum issues and other matters
• We will visit the school to monitor  your child's wellbeing and academic progress once a term
• Support as required at the boarding house, buying school uniform etc

Pastoral Care:

Pastoral care is a term used to refer to any emotional, spiritual, academic, personal and practical support the young person may need. 

SOGA acts as a Legal Guardian for your child during their stay in the UK and we provide pastoral care as required.
