Academic Success

Taunton School International takes boys and girls aged 14-17 and prepares them for success in a UK boarding school.  

We provide high quality tuition for speakers of English as a first or second language which is appropriate to our students' ages, abilities and their proposed entry point into the British education system. Students study a range of academic subjects following the British National Curriculum leading to the GCSE qualification. All students also follow an intensive course in English for Academic Purposes, taking IELTS, the university entrance examination.

Classes are small and each student has an academic tutor who supports them in their studies helping them to make the best possible progress.

Success is not just about how good a student's level of English is.  At Taunton School International we help students to:

• build a firm foundation of knowledge before going on to study at a high level
• learn the specialist vocabulary needed in each subject
• adapt to a different teaching and learning style
• have good study skills
• have the self-discipline to work hard

• specialist teaching from qualified and experienced teachers
• small class sizes (maximum 10 students)
• a disciplined and supportive environment
• 44 lessons of study per week plus supervised homework
• Study Skills, Theory of Knowledge, PSHE and Sport as part of the academic programmes
• excellent facilities including an ICT Room, language laboratory and two recreational halls
