King s is an inclusive international school open to qualifying students of all backgrounds though the
majority are Chinese. We have had a successful PrePrep school for Early Years since 2019 and now with
the opening of our Primary and Secondary campus in Autumn 2022 we are looking to expand our
teaching and leadership provision in our Prep and Senior Schools. Currently we only have students to
Grade 10 (UK Year 11 but as from next year we shall begin our A Level programme and be looking to
expand our numbers considerably.
We believe in a very active pedagogy through which our students will be engaged physically in the learning
process. We also recognise the importance of a wide curriculum which encourages brain growth problem
solving and flexibility of thought. Our policy with younger students is never to prevent or inhibit their
cognitive and conceptual development by forcing them to use English in every situation. Students with
strong cognitive and linguistic skills more easily learn and understand the nuances of a second language.
The main language used throughout the day at school is English and ensuring our students development
in the English language is an important priority especially as UK English will be needed to access the
Senior School International GCSE and A Level programmes.
