Boarding schools according to focus

is the Managing Director and a committed and enthusiastic consultant on boarding schools worldwide. She herself was a pupil at Salem for nine years and therefore knows boarding school life from the inside. After studying art history in Paris and London, she gained her first professional experience in international auction houses. However, she then gladly accepted the call to join her father's company, which she took over from her father in mid-2022. Since then, she has steered the fortunes of Toechter und Soehne as managing director. As a consultant, she is an all-rounder, whether she is looking for a boarding school in England, North America or Switzerland. It should not go unmentioned that Janka herself is the proud mother of three children and is therefore able to empathize with the questions and concerns of parents.

resides in Berlin, is a member of the management team and her consulting focus is on Germany and Switzerland. Nevertheless, her diverse experience of boarding schools in the Anglo-Saxon world should not be overlooked. Hardly anyone can compare the very different boarding school worlds better than Ms. Lingenthal. As a trainee, she gained her first experience at Toechter und Soehne - at that time still as Johanna von Boeselager. After successfully completing her business studies at the LMU in Munich, she returned to Toechter und Soehne and has been complementing the management team with her business expertise since 2024. She also enriches the team as an enthusiastic boarding school advocate, mother of two and knowledgeable consultant. She has been flying the flag for Toechter und Soehne in Berlin since 2018.

is not only a proven expert, she also provides advice on boarding schools in the UK and North America with a great deal of empathy and commitment. As a Senior Consultant in the International Department, mother of two children and with her own experience abroad, Ms. Schiefer is the ideal contact person for planning boarding school stays in the UK and North America. She earned her spurs at an international language academy. This gave her a deep insight into the Anglo-Saxon education system, and she knows exactly what is needed to make your child's stay abroad a complete success. Once you get to know her friendly and empathetic manner, you will feel very comfortable throughout the entire consultation process.

represents concentrated consulting power on boarding schools in Great Britain, the USA and Canada. In 16 years of consulting work, she has not only gained an unbeatable amount of experience but has also built up unparalleled expertise on boarding schools in the Anglo-Saxon world. But because consulting is a “people's business” and specialist knowledge is only one part of good consulting, Mirjam can also shine with her love of communication. With her Rhenish happy nature, she was practically born with this quality. A heritage that she is only too happy to cultivate daily. Can one top that? She can! She has trained to become a systemic coach at the University of Cologne. This will enable her to hone her wide range of tools so that she can put herself in the position of her young clients and their parents and provide solution-oriented advice.

is the perfect all-rounder, but her specialty is German boarding schools. She spent seven years advising on Anglo-Saxon boarding schools and became very familiar with the boarding school landscape in Great Britain, the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Parents not only appreciated her high level of expertise, but above all her empathy and her ability to respond very individually to the needs of the family and the students. After a three-year sabbatical in her native town Weimar, where she worked intensively with children from underprivileged backgrounds, she - much to our delight - returned to Toechter und Soehne and now supports Janka Zöller and the team as a Senior Consultant in advising on German boarding schools.

she knows her way around both summer camps and English boarding schools. And thus she could easily be described as multi-talented. Due to her extensive professional experience - she has advised on language courses in the corporate sector, accompanied students on their stays abroad at high schools and supervised language trips for a major competitor for five years - we are all the more pleased that we have been able to win Ms. Zimmermann over for Toechter und Soehne She is therefore ideally placed to advise and support you and your child in your search for a suitable boarding school, summer school or language study trip. Her experience makes her extremely flexible, so it is quite likely that her wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm will lead you into the world of Anglo-Saxon education. Ms. Zimmermann has been on parental leave since February 2025.

is happy to support you in choosing the right boarding school abroad. When you enjoy your job and have all the qualifications for it, full advocacy can be expected from you. Not only does she know what it means to live abroad, as she comes from the Netherlands, she also earned her spurs in adult education after studying cognitive neuroscience. She soon became a service manager there. Her focus: “ensuring customer satisfaction”; this is exactly what she does on a daily basis when advising on boarding schools in the English-speaking world. And we think she does an excellent job. Ms. van Dienst has been on parental leave since March 2025.
