International Application ProcessA modern British boarding school with a Global outlook
International pupils are very warmly welcomed at King Edward’s and greatly enrich the lives of our whole school community.
We provide the opportunity to be part of a modern British boarding school with a Global outlook – enjoying the benefits of our beautiful 100-acre learning environment in the heart of the Surrey Hills, just an hour away from major London airports Gatwick and Heathrow, London Waterloo and onwards to other towns and settings.
Each year around 15% of our pupils come from 30+ different countries and we are wholly committed to continuing to create the broad and balanced blend of pupils that has helped us shape a community that is kind, unprejudiced and worldly wise in its finest contemporary sense. We currently host pupils from Bulgaria, Germany, Kazakhstan, Austria, Ukraine, Spain, Hong Kong, China, South Korea, Uganda, Japan, France, Singapore, Pakistan, Portugal, South Africa, Thailand, Italy and Switzerland which provides for a truly global school experience for all.
This unique blend of familiarity and opportunity makes the world so much more accessible for our pupils and the adventure of broader understanding begins at King Edward’s with straight-forward school-time connection. All international pupils study and relax alongside our UK day and boarding pupils are fully immersed in British education developing both language skills and a unique cultural perspective of British life.
