Strong Turnout in NYC as UK Boarding Schools Spark Interest - Bloomberg Highlights May 1st Show

Our Boarding Schools Show in New York, held on May 1st, 2025 at the historic Pratt Mansions on Fifth Avenue, attracted a record number of families exploring elite British boarding school options. The event featured leading UK schools, expert education consultants, and bespoke one-on-one sessions for families planning a move abroad or considering alternatives to the U.S. system.

Now, the show has caught international media attention. In a Bloomberg feature published on May 13, journalist Erin Hudson reported on the surge of interest among New York families seeking educational stability abroad amid growing political unease. The article - “UK Private Schools Lure NYC Parents Alarmed by Trump” - was directly informed by conversations and insights gathered at our New York event.

“We’re looking for more than just academics - stability, tradition, and a global outlook,” one parent told Bloomberg at the show.

Highlights from the New York Boarding Schools Show:
  • Over 10 top UK boarding schools in attendance, including Benenden, Wycombe Abbey, and Westminster.

  • A keynote seminar from Bonas MacFarlane Education, offering invaluable insights into the British curriculum, boarding culture, and international university progression.

  • Fully booked Education Clinics with tailored advice for families ready to take the next step.

  • Strong interest from U.S.-based and international families living in NYC, many citing the political landscape as a key driver in seeking boarding options abroad.

As Bloomberg reports, applications to top-tier British schools from U.S. families are rising sharply. Our New York show provided an essential forum for informed discussion, personal connections, and confident planning for the years ahead.
