Established in 1976, we welcome students from over 50 countries every year to our school, and we look forward to welcoming you too.
We’re lucky enough to be right in the centre of Southampton, next to a university and opposite a beautiful park. We are based in four 18th-century buildings with garden patios at the back and a friendly atmosphere throughout! Let’s give you a tour.
16 classrooms
Study centre & computer room
Prayer room
Garden with table tennis
We have 16 classrooms, and most have either a projector or screen with computer + Apple TV. After class, if you’d like to do more study, we have a Study Centre with a mini library and 12 computers located in two rooms.
At the back of the school there are garden patios where you can relax in the sunshine or play table tennis. In warmer weather we also hold barbecue parties there.
Indoors, we have a coffee room and mini-kitchen where you can buy snacks and hot or cold drinks, or use the microwave. On colder days it’s the heart of the school!
You will also find a prayer room in a quiet area of the school, and throughout the building there is a free Wi-Fi connection.
In just two minutes you can walk to the main street in the city centre, with a wide variety of shops, cafes and restaurants, as well as bus stops to our homestay accommodation. The fabulous WestQuay shopping centre is just 5 minutes away, and the train station and coach station are only a 10-minute walk.
We’re also opposite a beautiful park – perfect for picnics! Another popular choice for lunch is Southampton Solent University, which is next door to us.
