It is a highly international environment with students of over 50 nationalities enjoying a unique learning environment designed to meet their needs. All our UK curriculum teachers are native English speakers and have many years of experience in the UK and abroad.

We have a large 200-seat dining hall with its own kitchen where school meals are prepared and an extensive library to encourage our pupils to develop an interest in reading and research.
