Find the right UK boarding school - with someone who has actually been inside them
Most agencies send you a brochure and a shortlist. I went to the schools myself - walked the campuses, met the staff, and understood each school's culture from the inside. That's the difference you get when you work with 마이에듀프렙
Our placement service is commission-based - paid by the schools, not by your family. Your initial consultation is completely free.
What we do together, step by step
Every family's journey is different. Here is what the process typically looks like.
Free initial consultation
We begin with an open, relaxed conversation — no forms, no pressure. I want to understand your child's personality, interests, academic background, and what your family is hoping for. In Korean or English, whichever is more comfortable.
Personalised school shortlisting
Based on our conversation, I recommend a shortlist of schools that genuinely fit your child — drawing on my first-hand knowledge of each school's atmosphere, teaching style, pastoral care, and student community. I'll be honest about where your child is most likely to thrive, not just where they're most likely to get in.
Application support & submission
I guide your family through every part of the application - from completing school forms and writing supporting statements to understanding each school's specific requirements and deadlines. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Entrance exam & interview preparation
I offer up to three coaching sessions for entrance exam and interview preparation as part of the service. For students who need more intensive support, additional sessions are available at an extra cost. Interview coaching is something particularly enjoy — helping students present themselves with confidence and authenticity.
Post-acceptance transition support
Receiving an offer is just the beginning. I help your child prepare for the practical and emotional
realities of boarding school life in the UK — from what to expect in the classroom to how to
navigate homesickness and build friendships across cultures. I've been that student. I know what
helps.

Is this right for your child?
UK boarding school is a significant investment — in money, in distance, and in your child's development. It suits some students far more than others. Here's who tends to do best.
Motivated and curious students
Students who want a different kind of education — one that goes beyond rote learning and exam pressure.
Families who are fully committed
UK boarding school fees are substantial. Families who succeed are those who go in clear-eyed about the commitment - and fully behind their child's decision.
Students ready for independence
Boarding school is full-time. Students who thrive are those who can adapt, self-manage, and build new relationships.
Students with a foundation in English
Fluency isn't required, but a working level of English makes the transition significantly smoother for
everyone.
Schools I know personally
I have visited each of these schools in person - not as a tourist, but to understand their academic culture, pastoral environment, and suitability for Korean students.
Start with a free consultation
No commitment, no cost. Just an honest conversation to see whether UK boarding school — and 마이에듀프렙 — is the right fit for your family.

Why
Why parents seek this support
Most families don't know when to start thinking about international school or overseas education. Many worry they'll make the wrong choice too late, or feel lost between Korean education and international options. They want someone trustworthy to help structure the questions.
- Not knowing when to begin thinking ahead
- Uncertainty about what kind of school or path actually fits your child
- Wanting guidance without entering a large agency system or generic school directory
Different
How this differs from later admissions support
This is not about applications, essays, or formal admissions strategy. Early planning is about direction, clarity, and confidence before those stages arrive. It's about helping you think, not about getting your child into a particular school.
- Early-stage direction and planning, not applications
- Understanding options and timing, not executing admissions packages
- Family reassurance and decision support, not school placement
Independent
Why Marianne is different
Founder-led, independent, and selective. Marianne works with a small number of families, listens carefully, and understands both Korean parent expectations and international educational contexts. This is thoughtful guidance, not a mass-market model.
What families receive
Tangiable clarity and confidence for the road ahead
Clearer sense of educational direction
Stronger conviction about next steps
Structured thinking about options and timing
Reassurance before higher stakesmoments
Personal support from Marianne
A thinking partner who understands your family's context
Parent voices
What families say

Questions
Common questions from families exploring early planning
Is this only for families already committed to international school?
No. This service is for families still exploring options. If you're weighing Korean education against international school, thinking about timing, or simply wanting clarity before deciding, this guidance is designed for you. The goal is to help you think through what matters most, not to push you toward any particular choice.
How early is too early?
There is no such thing as too early when you're thinking about direction. Many families find that clarity at age 10 or 11 prevents confusion later. Early guidance helps you understand the landscape, consider timing, and make intentional choices rather than reactive ones. The earlier you think, the more options remain open.
Can parents start without the child being involved?
Absolutely. Many parents begin by clarifying their own thinking and concerns. Marianne can help you structure questions, understand options, and build confidence before involving your child. This often leads to more thoughtful family conversations later.
How is this different from an agency?
Agencies typically focus on school placement and volume. This service is independent, founder-led, and focused entirely on your family's clarity and confidence. Marianne works with a small number of families, listens carefully, and helps you think through what's right for your situation-not what's easiest to place.
What if we are still unsure about direction?
Uncertainty is exactly why families seek this guidance. Marianne helps you move from confusion to clarity by asking better questions and helping you understand what factors matter most. Leaving with a clearer sense of direction-even if the final choice isn't yet made-is the whole point.
