Ruthin School, North Wales:
Located on the outskirts of Ruthin, the county town of Denbighshire in North Wales, Ruthin School is a co-educational day and boarding school for students aged 11+. We are one of the oldest public schools in the United Kingdom, and we welcome students from all over the UK as well as international students from around the world. We provide a high-quality secondary school education with GCSE and A-level exam preparation, with full boarding study options available.

Quality Education:

Ruthin is a small enough school to allow all staff to know all the pupils, whether they teach them or not. Our staff are highly committed to the aims and ethos of the School, dedicated to developing the full potential of all. We are focused on the individual student and allowing pupils to grow in a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. Full boarding is also available.

- A-level exams / Sixth form
- Extra-curricular activities include music, drama & a wide variety of sports
- Full boarding available (including holidays)

International Students Welcome:

We welcome international students from all over the world from the age of 11. We find that our overseas pupils settle in very well and the majority gain entry to a British University. We have accepted pupils from a wide range of countries, including Germany, France, Switzerland, Spain, Russia, Ukraine, USA, Canada, China, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Nepal, Columbia, Argentina, Jordan, India, and the Gambia.

Obviously, the earlier a student joins the school, their progress in acquiring English will be faster. Some students join us at age 15 or 16 and if their English is deemed to be sound they can start immediately on an A-Level programme. Other students may require a year of English and subject-specific English before embarking on an A-Level programme.

Boarding Facilities:

- Full boarding is available, including holidays. Pupils are accommodated in one of three boarding houses and boys and girls are accommodated separately. The accommodation in each house consists of either single or double rooms. If two pupils share a room, we try to ensure that they are from different countries. This helps their spoken English.

- Each boarding house has a resident Houseparent and an assistant Houseparent. The Houseparents take full responsibility for the pastoral care of the pupils in their house and act in loco parentis. The staff look after the pupils in the evenings, at weekends and in the half-term and Easter holidays.

- The school doctor visits weekly to hold a surgery for boarders. The school employs a full time residential qualified nurse to advise on medical issues. Wireless Internet is provided in each boarding house so that the boarders can communicate with friends and family using MSN, Facebook and Skype. The connection is monitored and closed at 11 pm.

Brockhurst and Marlston House Schools, Berkshire
Courses / Programs
Brockhurst and Marlston House Schools are twin day and boarding schools that share the same estate at Marlston, Hermitage in the Berkshire countryside. Brockhurst teaches boys from six to thirteen years of age, while Marlston House teaches girls of the same age.

Boys and girls are taught together in our vibrant co-educational pre-prep school (ages 3-6). From Year 2 they are taught separately in small, single-sex classes. We believe this is the best system for developing their academic potential.

Boys and girls continue to mix for the many social and extracurricular activities we provide. At the age of thirteen, their classes are combined again in preparation for the Common Entrance exams.

At Brockhurst and Marlston House Schools, we aim to provide a first-class, unique education in a disciplined and happy, family environment. Both schools offer a broad curriculum, which includes art, drama, music, and an exciting variety of other activities. This breadth is reflected in the range of scholarships achieved.

Approximately 1.25 hours drive west of London, our schools are situated in a magnificent Jacobean style mansion set in 500 acres of stunning Berkshire countryside. Our mission is to develop enthusiastic, self-confident and well-mannered girls and boys with enquiring minds.

The College has an atmosphere closer to university than school. We offer students the opportunity to thrive in an atmosphere of managed independence that acts as a stepping stone between school and university.
