At the heart of our school is a culture of kindness, the development of confidence and the encouragement of curiosity. These core values, which run throughout the Brighton family of schools, ensure that your child not only gets the best academic education that they can, but develops them into global citizens with the skills and ability to lead the industries of tomorrow. 
Our belief in holistic education provides a multitude of opportunities for your child to excel in the academic, creative and physical fields, and instils an understanding of service to both their local and global communities.
Whilst embracing the culture and identity of the region, we base our educational philosophy on the best of a British independent school education and on that of Brighton College UK – named by the Sunday times as the  ‘School of the Decade’. We cater for boys and girls aged 3-18 and provide a seamless educational experience for the duration of their schooling years. The structure of the school provides continuity of educational philosophy and standards throughout their time with us, but with each phase (Pre-Prep, Prep and Senior) being distinctive enough to provide challenge, development and a sense of progression as they move through the school.
We are incredibly proud of our pupils and their achievements, and I very much look forward to welcoming you to the College, to experience their energy, purpose and sense of community.
