Boarding schools in Southern England

Boarding schools in Southern England

Sun, sea and a mild climate

The south of England is known mainly as a holiday destination, as this is where the famous English seaside resorts of Brighton, Bournemouth and Eastbourne are located. But the region also has some highly recommendable boarding schools with a wide range of attractions. We have partner schools in historic Bath and even on the Isle of Wight.

Below you will find an overview of some of our partner schools:

Lord Wandsworth College

Scholarships for orphans are still awarded today. The 485-hectare campus is almost a kind of village: not only the boarders but also many teachers and staff live here. The college has room for many sports and music activities, for example dance, climbing and kayaking.
