Parents sending their children abroad make extensive researches of Boarding Schools and  how to go round the issue of Visas and National requirements of the host country .I briefly review the most important Middle East and British websites and public institutions providing reviews, advise and support to parents preparing to send their children to residential schools abroad.

EdArabia offers complete reviews of Educational establishments in the Middle East. The site features the Educational Establishment details , performance rankings and parents can post their reviews below the school page. If you are considering enrolling your child at a Boarding school in the Middle East than this site will be just ideal for your .

I find this website very useful to parents considering sending their children to Boarding schools in the Middle East and I am very impressed with the quality of Education that money can buy.  I would rank the  Swiss International Scientific Private, residential school in Dubai as the best residential school for parents committed in providing their children the best possible education abroad.

You can access the school boarding school brochure here. SWISS INTERNATIONAL BOARDING SCHOOL BROCHURE

EdArabia reviews does not provide the full service of help and advise that parents in Afghanistan might consider beneficial to them because it lacks insight into which Boarding schools are familiar with Afghanistan culture and can accommodate the children needs.

The UK Boarding Schools institution on the other hand , has an extensive experience of providing support and advice to parents abroad and list all  Boarding schools. The fact that is a well known public institution also adds to that element of trust that all parents are looking for when making the well informed choice of where to send their children .

The British Council in Afghanistan can advise parents on finding additional funding to place their children in a British Residential Educational establishment and how to choose an appropriate UK Education Agent. The British Council explains the difference between State and Maintained Boarding school using the child nationality and funding as a distinction element ,and highlight that in Afghanistan what is called private school is called public schools in the UK.

Bear in mind that many Boarding schools called private schools in Afghanistan and public schools in the UK  do recruit extensively in Asia and in the Middle East! Also, that traditional schools like Harrow Boarding schools expanded internationally and now hold colleges in Asia .

Anderson Education and other private Education advisers are publicising the current tour of 30 UK Boarding Schools Representatives abroad. We had two expositions last week in the Middle East and we are waiting for announcements of further locations. You can check the tour locations and dates at Anderson Education website.

Sending your children abroad will prove better that sending them to one of the four current Military Academies in Afghanistan and hopefully by the time they achieve puberty or adulthood , Afghanistan is already in peace and working out the difficult moments that countries facing reconciliation battles have to endure to sustain Peace within their borders.
