A worldwide reputation for quality
The international school sector has grown exponentially in recent years. One of the reasons for this is the high regard in which British education is held worldwide. This is partly based on increased recognition of big names in UK education ... but also because the British system is known to provide a broad, balanced curriculum, alongside good pastoral care and a range of extra-curricular opportunities.
