The GNet team are dedicated to communicating in a timely manner, liaising between our partner agencies, schools and homestay families to ensure that our students receive the best academic and pastoral support whilst they are studying in the UK. Our bespoke services include production of financial estimates and statements, payment of school bills and other associated costs, making travel arrangements, assistance with purchasing of school uniforms and handling of day to day issues occurring within normal school life. Our Homestay families are committed to providing a home away from home for their students. We carefully match all of our students' backgrounds, interests and ages to that of their Homestay families, giving them the best chance of stability and happiness while in the UK. All of our Homestay families are personally visited, approved by parents, are DBS checked and live within a 1-hour radius of the school. Settling into a new environment can be even more difficult when those around you do not understand your culture. Homestay families are thoroughly supported through their time with us and have an appreciation of the cultures of the students they are welcoming into their homes. This mutual cultural development of not just the students but of the Homestay families, allows UK families to enjoy and learn about perceptions, traditions and values of other countries.

The safeguarding of our students is of paramount importance to the company. As guardianship is an unregulated industry, it is crucial to choose an agency that is accredited. We are certified members of the Boarding Schools Association and accredited by AEGIS, an independent body working to support all international students at schools in the UK.
