Sherborne is a specialist intensive school for overseas girls and boys aged 11-17. Students from non-British backgrounds are given the best linguistic and academic preparation possible.

All teachers are double trained – to teach English AND their own subjects, such as Mathematics, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Geography, History, Art and Business Studies. This is to help ensure all lessons are fully understood and that language or other cultural differences are not barriers to learning.

Students usually stay at the School for a year and are then ready to move into a traditional British boarding school.
The School achieves excellent IELTS, and GCSE/IGCSE results on its year round programme and offers quality academic Spring Vacation and Summer programmes.
