The King’s School, Canterbury

The King’s School位於英國東南面Canterbury，是羅馬天主教會在英國最早的落腳點。根德伯里座堂及聖奧斯定隱修院等已被聯合國列入世界文化遺產，因此也成為英國最受歡迎的旅遊城市之一。

The King’s School始於597年，是一所歷史悠久的傳統英國寄宿學校，亦是英國歷史上的第一所學校。學校雖然歷史悠久，但在教學方面卻力求創新，常常研究新的教學方法，來迎接新的挑戰。而且學校會幫助學生解決在選大學時遇到的問題，提供足夠支援給學生應付英國及國際著名大學的各種面試，令學生更容易成功入讀目標大學。

The King’s School有13所宿舍：6所男宿舍和7所女宿舍，照顧着634名寄宿生，寄宿生佔全校學生大約80％。大多數的學生因長時間生活在學校內，令學生之間的關係更加緊密，學校和宿舍教職員會安排不同的活動給寄宿生，令他們的投入感和歸屬感加強，幫助他們融入校園生活。

Ethos
The philosophy behind the pursuit of academic excellence is that talented pupils are stretched but not stressed by enlightened and stimulating teaching. The Lower and Middle school curricula combine a broad sweep of both the arts and the sciences which nurture a careful training of the mind. The vibrant and intellectually exciting 6th form provides the ideal springboard for string applications to Oxbridge, Russell Group, and other top UK and US universities. The King’s spirit gains its momentum and release through the equal weight attached to co-curricular activities. King’s possesses the knack of developing individual passions that often become lifelong pursuits: sporting, musical, and artistic opportunities abound for every pupil.

Academic
The King’s academic programme is designed to encompass both depth and breadth. Built upon historic foundations and supported by the extensive co-curriculum and strong
pastoral care, the developing individual is taken out into the wider world locally, nationally and globally.

Boarding
All pupils are members of a house. There are thirteen boarding houses and three day houses. Each house is in the care of a resident Housemaster or Housemistress, who is likely to be one of the most influential people in a pupil’s school career,
assisted by a Matron and a team of five or more tutors. Pupils identify strongly with their house and there are many inclusive activities to keep them busy in weekend.
