Choosing a High School
When selecting a high school overseas, it is of equal importance that we find a setting that will help the student to reach both their full academic and sporting potential, putting them on a pathway for a successful career both in and out of soccer. For those reasons we are proud to partner with some of England’s most prestigious academic institutions that have a rich tradition of academic prestige and a history of sporting success.
Each high school soccer partner that we work with has been selected on their careful balance of offering a great learning environment for students as well as their reputation and history of developing soccer players.
We aim to put you in direct contact with each suitable opportunity that we find and present you with all of the information that you need to make an informed decision regarding your overseas high school soccer placement.

Having spent years focusing on balancing your soccer career alongside your education, you may feel that you wish to take some time out of education to focus on your soccer.
A prep year (or a gap year as known in the U.K.) gives student’s time out of education to carefully consider their next step. We are able to offer our soccer players some exciting overseas soccer prep years to consider in a number of European countries.
We can also help to manage their college recruitment if needed whilst on their prep year.
