UM’s Holistic Approach

Our approach is uniquely holistic, recognising that school entry is just the beginning, not the end. We believe a successful UK experience involves not only gaining admission to the best possible school but also truly thriving there. This requires rigorous academic assessment and reporting, carefully chosen host families, and a plan that monitors both wellbeing and academic progress.

With a comprehensive view of each child, we gain a deep understanding of their broader needs and the factors influencing them. Our plans reflect this insight, integrating all aspects of their experience for optimal support and growth.

What makes a UM Host family different?

Our host families are sourced from exclusive London private clubs, as well as via referral.

Tailored Matching

Families are handpicked to align with your child’s personality, interests, and future career aspirations.

Every host family is carefully vetted (DBS) to ensure they provide a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment.

Best of British

Our host families share the best of British culture with their guests.
