Most students from overseas who study at a school in the UK will do so at one of the 2,200 independent (or private) schools there. These schools may cover only primary or secondary education, while others cover all ages up to 18 years. Some of these schools take boarders, while the majority are for day students only. Information and advice about schools in the UK is available from the ISC information and advice service or ISCias (see www.isc.co.uk )
