Cottesmore is an academic boarding prep school for boys and girls set in the glorious, verdant countryside of West Sussex - its proximity to airports and London make it a popular choice for expats and those with connections to Britain. They have been providing excellent preparation for senior boarding schools since 1894 and has long term connections with schools which share Cottesmore’s belief in a nurturing, rounded and dynamic academic education - schools like Eton, Harrow, Downe House and Benenden. Cottesmore achieves excellent academic results.

The strength of Cottesmore’s academic programme lies within its breadth. There are 21 different curriculum subjects taught: sports and the arts are strong. Through this rich variety of intellectual and practical experience, each girl and boy finds her or his particular strength and this in turn lifts their academic potential.
