𝐀𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐨𝐮𝐫 Globally, A-Levels and GCSE examination results are highly regarded providing a clear route into the world’s most prestigious universities. Many international schools opt to follow British examination syllabi whether they are located in Latin America or South East Asia. By 2025, it is forecast that almost 15,000 international schools will base themselves on the British model.

𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 British private schools, with small classes and experienced teachers, encourage pupils to develop analytical and evaluative skills, simultaneously honing their skills to express complex ideas. Pupils are taught to challenge the accepted theories, to evaluate concepts. Remember that few theories, leaving Newton aside, survive for more than a few decades. Discussion and questioning contribute to creating tomorrow’s leading adapters, entrepreneurs and innovators.

𝐀𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐥-𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Britain’s independent school’s pride themselves on the quality of their facilities. After lessons pupils continue to have the opportunity to follow their interests in science labs, art rooms, digital editing suites, recording studios, theatres that rival many London establishments, design and technology rooms.
