Choosing the right school is one of the most meaningful decisions a parent can make. It shapes a child’s world long before they are aware of the choice themselves. It influences confidence, curiosity, friendships and the path that carries them into adulthood. For families exploring what the future may hold, the British Boarding Schools Show offers an elegant opportunity to meet leading schools in a calm and thoughtful setting. On Tuesday 25 November 2025, from 18:00 to 20:30, a select group of British schools will gather at the Équivoque Rooftop Bar at the Miramar Hotel in Monaco for an intimate evening of conversation over drinks and canapés.
The evening begins with a brief keynote from William Petty, Director of Bonas MacFarlane Education, who will share insights into the world of British boarding education and the journey that leads from school years to university admissions. After the introduction, families will have the opportunity to speak directly with Heads and Admissions Directors who are ready to offer personalised guidance.
Attendance is £25 per adult, ensuring the setting remains intentionally focused and conducive to meaningful conversations.

Many families attending such events live internationally or are preparing for significant changes in the coming years. Some are relocating and want their children to maintain a British curriculum. Others divide their time between several countries and seek stability that is not dependent on location. In these moments, a strong and consistent school environment becomes a reassuring anchor, offering children a sense of belonging and continuity even when the family’s broader lifestyle may be dynamic.
At the centre of this decision lies the child. Every school has its own pace and atmosphere, just as every young person has their own way of learning and relating to the world. Some thrive in energetic environments rich with activity, while others feel most at ease in calm, structured surroundings. Pastoral care, emotional support, academic pace and the school’s culture all influence how comfortably a child settles. Conversations with school leaders can help families understand these subtle differences and focus on the environments where their child will grow with confidence.
Alongside traditional school choices, many families now embrace a broader educational journey supported by private tutors. These tutors often travel with the family, ensuring that learning continues seamlessly across different countries and seasons. When approached thoughtfully, education becomes richer through experience. History explored in Paris feels alive when it is connected to the very streets where it once unfolded. Biology takes on new meaning in the natural landscapes of New Zealand or on the coastlines of Australia. Language learning becomes effortless when practised during daily life in a country where it is spoken. With the right tutor, movement does not interrupt education. It enhances it. At Platinum Nanny, we place tutors who bring structure, academic continuity and creativity to the rhythm of international family life.
Interest in British boarding schools continues to grow, particularly for their balance of tradition, innovation, and strong pastoral care. These environments foster independence, character and the confidence that prepares students for leading universities and global opportunities. For families who are exploring options beyond their current location, the Boarding Schools Show offers a concise and personal way to gain insight, ask questions and understand what makes each school distinctive.
For those relocating or entering a new life chapter, the pathway can feel complex. Application processes differ from country to country. Timelines, curriculum structures and cultural expectations vary widely. Some families need immediate solutions. Others are planning several years ahead. Tutors, academic transitions, relocation planning and the emotional wellbeing of the child all become part of the conversation. Platinum Nanny provides discreet and personal support to help families navigate these decisions and connect with tutors who can guide children through each stage with steadiness and care.
The British Boarding Schools Show is therefore more than an event. It is a gentle moment to think clearly about what a child needs to thrive, both now and in the years to come. As you explore, take time to listen, to compare, and to imagine the world your child might grow into. The right school is not only a place of learning. It is a community that shapes identity, independence and joy.
Every family deserves clarity. Every child deserves a place where they can learn with joy.
