British Prep Schools
Prep schools in the UK, also known as preparatory schools, are independent schools that cater to children up to approximately the age of 13. These schools are designed to prepare students for entry into independent senior schools. Here are some key points about UK prep schools:
-
Academic Focus: Prep schools typically offer a strong academic program, aiming to provide a solid foundation in core subjects such as English, mathematics, and science. They often have small class sizes, allowing for more personalized attention and support.

-
Boarding Options: Many prep schools offer boarding facilities, providing a home-like environment where students can live and study. This can be a great option for families looking for a more immersive educational experience.
