Boarding school placement

The right school is the one
that is right for your child.

Swiss, UK and Germany boarding advisory, from shortlist to enrolment.

The approach

We start with the child,
not the league table.

Boarding is a formative decision, and reputation alone is a poor guide to whether a particular school will suit a particular child.

We build the recommendation around the child’s profile — academic strengths, pastoral needs, readiness for time away from home and what the family actually wants from the years ahead.

What we weigh

Six factors behind
every shortlist.

01

Age & readiness

Comfort with routines and a new environment.

02

Language & goals

Current ability and what they hope to develop.

03

Interests & motivation

What they enjoy and genuinely want to try.

04

Time away from home

Previous experience and support expectations.

05

Individual needs

Practical, dietary or learning support to clarify.

06

Family priorities

Dates, duration, format and overall budget.

The placement journey

Four stages.

01

Profile

Academic record, interests, pastoral needs and family priorities.

02

Shortlist

A small set of schools, each with the reasoning shown.

03

Apply

Registration, assessments, interviews and deadlines coordinated.

04

Enrol

Offer review, acceptance and the handover into pre-departure preparation.

Panache supports preparation and coordination within the agreed advisory scope. School, travel and visa requirements are confirmed with the relevant providers.

We don’t start with a school. We start with your child.

Their journey.
Distinctly theirs.
