After months of planning and preparation, we are proud to announce that the Cavendish School of English has received AEGIS certification. This means we are now officially quality-accredited to take on guardianship for international students on England’s south coast — a particularly valuable service for those who have chosen to attend a boarding school in the area.
What is AEGIS (Association for the Education and Guardianship of International Students)?
AEGIS is the only independent accreditation body in the United Kingdom for guardianship organisations. It operates a robust and well-established inspection process.
Founded in 1997 by a group of guardianship organisations and British boarding schools, and registered as a charity since 2005, AEGIS is committed to maintaining consistently high standards in the field of guardianship. Its mission is to safeguard the welfare and education of international students studying in the United Kingdom. AEGIS also provides guidance and relevant training for guardianship organisations seeking accreditation or re-accreditation.
What does AEGIS certification mean for students at the Cavendish School of English?
The AEGIS certification confirms that our school meets the highest quality standards in guardianship and as a language school, providing a safe and trustworthy environment for international students.
For students on longer stays in England, this accreditation brings a number of concrete benefits:
Because we handle guardianship directly on-site, there is no need for external organisations. This means short, efficient lines of communication between students, parents, and our team. The certification also guarantees compliance with legal requirements, as well as regular quality reviews and ongoing professional development for our staff. Parents can rest assured that their children are in good hands and will always receive professional, empathetic support whenever questions or challenges arise.
Taken together, our students benefit from a complete package that combines safety, experience, and excellent care — making their time in England even more rewarding and successful.
