Summary
Choosing to study abroad is a life changing decision and each detail should be considered carefully.
The choice of boarding school/university is top priority; however, everyday life is just as important as school life and we believe that students need the best support during their amazing adventure. GNet offers different services to suit all students’ needs and budgets. We also offer tailor-made packages so if you feel as though you require something else, please contact us.
Our Basic service offers essential support such as 24/7 emergency care and regular communication with students and schools. It is perfect for students whose parents are in the EU and, therefore, in a position to collect and return them to school for every school break/holiday and wish to remain fully involved in all academic and pastoral matters and discussions with school. GNet act as appointed guardian for emergencies.
University life is quite different from boarding school. Students are expected to take control for their studies, their accommodation, food and finances. It can be a stressful time, particularly for students who are studying in the UK for the first time, so having a 24/7 emergency contact on hand can be reassuring. This service is ideal for students under the age of 18 who are applying to a UK university or college and need to meet guardianship regulations.
A tailor-made VIP package can be arranged for students with specific requirements. For example, students with special educational or learning needs, for those requiring constant academic or pastoral support or those striving for top academic results.
