Kings at Downside

The International Study Centre is run by Kings Education in close partnership with Downside School.

Kings Education Group

Kings Education is a leading organisation which specialises in supporting the specific learning and pastoral needs of international students. The Kings Education group comprises a network of international colleges across the UK and USA and Downside are proud to partner with such an experienced provider.

The International Study Centre (ISC) is a dedicated facility for international students aged 11 – 14 who aspire towards entry to Downside School, subject to meeting the admissions criteria, and require a “soft landing” to acclimatise to life and learning in the UK.

The ISC is based on campus in a separate building formerly used as Downside’s preparatory school and is home to pupils aged 11-14. It provides a supportive base in which international students can live and learn together while benefiting from a carefully managed preparation for entry into the UK Boarding system.
