The Expo comes off between 18th and 20th October, 2019
The British Boarding School Expo will begin in Accra from the 18th of October to the 20th of October 2019.
It is supported by the British High Commission in Accra, The Royal Commonwealth Society Africa office, Stanbic Bank Ghana and the British Council in Accra.
The three-day event will be held on the 4th floor of Stanbic Bank at Stanbic Heights, Airport City and will provide discerning parents and families with information on some of the best Boarding Schools in the United Kingdom.
For many decades, the UK boarding school system has educated many people from across the world. Specifically, as is the case in the UK, it has educated many children from wealthy and influential homes, as well as brilliant but not so wealthy students through generous scholarships and bursaries. Most of these students have gone on to make a mark in the world and have risen to the top of their respective professions.
However, despite the benefits of the British Boarding School education, navigating the system and finding the best fit for students has been a major headache for many parents and families. The British Boarding School Expo, 2019 will therefore provide families with a plethora of information on how to access the best boarding schools that the UK has to offer.
Elaine Cunningham-Walker, CEO of Everything Education, the organisers of the event added:
“The British Boarding School Expo was created to support parents to make easy choices and to meet with leading boarding schools in the UK. We take the schools directly to them, empowering them with the ability to make the right choices for their children.”
An exclusive networking event will be held on Friday, October 18 with some of the most prestigious head teachers providing parents with one-on-one networking time. This event will take place on the 4th floor of Stanbic Bank at the Stanbic Heights in Airport City Accra from 6 pm – 8.30 pm.
On Saturday October 19 (10 am - 6:00pm) and Sunday October 20 (12am-6pm) the Expo will be held at the same venue, with the various schools answering questions from parents at various school stalls.
The prestigious boarding schools visiting Ghana this October are: Roedean School, Harrogate Ladies’ College, Luckley House School, Brooke House School, Kent College, Truro School, West Buckland School, Woodhouse Grove School, Terra Nova School, Lincoln Minster School, Lucton School, Thornton College, Queen Anne’s School, DLD College and EF Academy.
