The school consists of modern residences and facilities for recreation. This is combined with the classic medieval look of the school grounds making this a wonderful experience. The lessons will be held in Canterbury Cathedral, and the accommodation will be on the site of St Augustine’s Abbey, which is within walking distance.

The older students will have a feel of a boarding school-style experience while the younger students will feel safe due to regular supervision. The school sports facilities are also within reach, and they include modern facilities and equipment which is always available to students.
