Boarding schools in the USA

independent – ​​innovative – brilliant

The US is a hub of innovation, diversity and freedom. As an economic and cultural world power, it shapes progress in science, technology, and art, while sporting top universities and excellent boarding schools. Owing to their political independence, boarding schools offer a value-based education that is not influenced by ideology. They promote critical thinking and personal responsibility. In our challenging political times, this has undoubtedly become a hallmark of quality. Our partner schools in the USA embody academic excellence, provide individual support, and offer a plethora of classes and activities to choose from. Small classes, state-of-the-art equipment, and a strong focus on personal development prepare students for their time at university – wherever their journey may take them.

Geographically speaking, the US stuns with breathtaking landscapes– from deserts to dynamic cities.

Our selection of boarding schools reflects this vast diversity. Please get in touch to learn more about our partner schools!
