Sutherland Education consists of a team of educationalists and guardians who are highly experienced in caring for international students and offering professional advice on a wide range of educational choices. Our guardians are known by schools and parents for their personal commitment to each student and our testimonials show how true this is.
All Sutherland families are very carefully selected for the quality of their home, their background, their high level of suitability to look after children, and their support for the Sutherland Education ethos which is a very strong element of the care we provide. They come to us through our own unique network, we then thoroughly examine their personal and professional references and also conduct the appropriate checks.
Regular guardian training meetings also enhance our guardians' skills in working with children and understanding their duties of care and communication.
All the staff of Sutherland Education are dedicated to the welfare and happiness of each student. Every guardian develops a personal interest in his or her student and at all times ensures that communication with parents is regularly maintained.
