Ten or twelve students around a table. Teachers who sit with them, on first-name terms. Project-based work, placed by level rather than age, paced so no one is set up to fail.
A full-time Cambridge day school for ages 4 to 18 — bilingual, project-based, and paced to the student.
A full-time Cambridge programme for ages 4 to 18 — IGCSE and A-level. Bilingual from the earliest class. Project-based, conversation-led, paced to the student.
We know how it feels to be told a school “isn’t the right fit”. Big international schools often turn away children who need a little more — more time, more support, a different pace. We were built for exactly those children. Before we read a report, we look at the child in front of us.
How admissions works →We borrowed the best ideas we could find — from the Harkness method, from project-based learning, from years of teaching kids who didn’t fit other schools — and built a day around them.
Lessons happen as conversations, not lectures. A teacher and 10–12 students discuss a stimulus — a film clip, a problem, a passage — and understanding emerges from the discussion.
Real projects across subjects — marine science, enterprise, textiles, art and more — that build skills the way work outside school does. Life skills sit inside the curriculum, not outside it.
For core subjects we group students into support, middle and high so each one moves at the right pace. A student can be in “high” for English and “support” for maths — that’s normal.
IGCSEs and A-levels stepped one at a time, taken when the student is ready. Some sit Enterprise IGCSE early; some A-level students take Maths IGCSE later. We don’t set anyone up to fail.
We’re a first-name school. With ten or twelve students in a group, you can know who needs more time, who’s bored, who’s having a rough week — and you can do something about it.
Our building doesn’t have a swimming pool or a tennis court — and that’s a feature, not a bug. We work with the people who do this stuff for a living, all within a few minutes of campus.
Weekly coaching on the courts where champions train.
Year-round swim sessions two minutes from school.
Afternoons riding, mucking in, learning the work behind it.
Cooking projects in a real working kitchen.
Supervised training for older students, a few times a week.
Field-based marine biology; the Mediterranean is a 12-minute walk.
