Why choose Earlscliffe?

Tailor-made to International Students

Earlscliffe is a specialist international sixth-form college with a single mission: to prepare ambitious students for admission to highly selective universities in the UK, Europe, and the United States.

We concentrate solely on the final three years before university, ensuring every aspect of school life supports excellent academic results, outstanding university applications, and successful post-school outcomes.

Our students arrive from all over the world and have a diversity of academic and cultural experiences that make each of their educational journeys very unique.

Therefore, we provide educational solutions that adapt to each student’s personal abilities and ambitions. From the very first meeting we ask key questions and listen carefully, with the intention of guiding them towards a successful future that will make them happy. We aim for our students to become the very best versions of themselves, whether that means that they are working towards becoming a medic, a lawyer, a chemical engineer, a fashion designer or a pro basketball player.

A home-from-home environment

Earlscliffe offers students aged 15-19 years old a ‘home from home’ environment which is welcoming, safe and comfortable.

The small community of around 150 students from all over the world truly is a global village in which cultural exchange, sporting opportunity and meaningful community service flourish.

Personalised pastoral care and support are offered without being intrusive.
