I really don't think it's a good idea. Boarding schools are expensive, even with help. And how are you going to get a job while at boarding school? I know things can get really difficult at home, but it won't be for much longer. At least wait until you're 16 or better if you have a levels or highers. Keep focused on your work and getting good grades, so later you can go where you want. Trying to pay for boarding school at 15 is boardering on impossible, I'm sorry to say.

Can I go to boarding school in the UK
Can I go to boarding school in the UK?
My parents decided to move me to a new city for my freshman year of high school. I really don't want to go, but my parents have given me an option to go to boarding school instead. But, I really don't want to go to some random boarding school in the US :/ I wanna go to the UK where I have a ton of pen pals that go to boarding schools and love it. Are there any good International UK boarding schools I can contact? I reaaally want to go :)) I currently live in Texas and I'm going to Austin. But I don't like the ghetto schools in Austin at all :/

I'm sorry but if you're from Texas, you will not be qualified to enter a location of higher learning in the United Kingdom or Europe.

I find that strange as well! However, found this on Gemseducation.com which may clear things up a bit "Parents taking children aged 15 to 18 years to the US may be faced with a complex situation. US students can complete high school at age 17 before being admitted to university, whereas UK students generally complete GCSEs at age 16, then complete A-levels at age 18 before being admitted to university. Although there are no official equivalencies between the US and UK education systems, most UK and US educators agree that a US high school diploma (without AP courses) can be roughly compared to five GCSE passes at grade C and above. A US high school diploma with AP courses can be roughly compared to GCSEs plus A-levels. So, a student holding GCSEs when he or she enters the US may be academically more advanced than US students of the same age. He or she may find that the regular academic curriculum for that age group in the US is insufficiently challenging or duplicates work done for GCSEs. On the other hand, a less intensive curriculum may lessen the strain of adaptation to a new education system and way of life. Most US universities will not accept students less than 17 years of age. Conversely, most UK universities will not accept American-educated students holding a high school diploma without AP test results. UK universities and the Universities and Colleges Admissions Services (UCAS) recognise AP exams as equivalent to A-levels." So it looks as though your only option would possibly be to complete summer school with your chosen university before admission. I had a friend who did this at Aberdeen University as he had no highers and so did not meet entry requirements.
