Terms of Guardianship

  • All invoices are rendered in British Pounds. All payments must cater for bank charges and exchange rates. In the event of short payment due to transmission charges, only the net amount will be credited to your account.

  • A clear term’s notice of withdrawal from our guardianship programme must be given in writing or a term’s fee paid in lieu.

  • No application can be considered unless a fully completed application form is received, complete with the initial payment and four passport photographs.

  • The agreement in the application form is made under British law.

  • Any change of family accommodation must be notified to your local co-ordinator not less than three clear days in advance. Cancellation without this notice will attract a charge of one-third of the anticipated cost. (Boarding students only)

  • The State School Programme is administered by White House Education, a partner company of White House Guardianships.

  • If the choice of State School placement is not accepted, the WHG deposit is fully refundable. Once a place has been accepted the charge will stand.

  • We take pride in the reputation of WHG students. A student may be expelled from guardianship or the State School Programme for serious or continuous misconduct, particularly where such behaviour prejudices the safety or progress of other students or brings the programme or the school into disrepute.

  • If a student is expelled from the State School Programme or withdraws for any reason, no refund can be considered. Insurance should be instituted to cover this possibility where appropriate.

  • A student must be prepared and capable, both physically and mentally, for a prolonged stay in a different country away from both their family and friends.
  • PLEASE NOTE

    WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT PARENTS OF STUDENTS TAKE OUT POLICIES OF THIS NATURE IN YOUR HOME COUNTRY
