Welcome to Taunton School International
At Taunton School International, we provide a safe, happy and respectful environment in which we nurture, challenge and inspire young people of diverse nationalities to achieve their full potential. For international students applying to Taunton School, there are several options to consider, based on age, level of English, prior knowledge, subject preference and future career ambitions.
Taunton School comprises of two International Schools:
- Taunton School International Middle School, or ‘TSIMS’, for our younger students (8 – 14 years) which provides a broad curriculum for international students with levels of English between A0 – B1.
- Taunton School International, or ‘TSI’, for older international students (14 – 18 years) which is situated on the main 56-acre site. Here, students can take GCSEs in one or two years or enrol on our Business Foundation programme for Sixth Form aged students.
Or, for international students with high levels of English (B2+), we may recommend you attend our Prep School (for 7 – 13 year old students) or Senior School (for 13 – 18 year old students).
Academically, we offer a range of exciting and inspiring courses, with a wide curriculum and a huge amount of individual support from teachers and tutors. Learning is often tailored to the individual needs of the student and we make sure that parents are kept up-to-date with their child’s progress.
With all of our students away from home and their family and friends, we know how important it is to provide the very best in pastoral care. Our highly experienced and caring house staff are always on hand to provide whatever support is needed, complemented by our Health Centre staff, comprising doctors, nurses, counsellors and physiotherapist.
All of our international students make full use of the outstanding facilities on the 56-acre Taunton School campus, including two indoor swimming pools, sports halls, fitness suite, climbing wall, tennis & squash courts, football pitches, music school, theatre, dance studio, library, sixth form centre, art school and the soon to be completed multi-million pound dining hall.
When you join Taunton School International, you instantly become part of a very warm, caring and supportive community with students from all over the world. You will also integrate with the British students at the Senior and Prep Schools in a variety of ways, for example, in sport, music, art, drama, lectures, social events, after-school clubs, weekend trips and inter-house competitions.
At Taunton School International you will be afforded the very best opportunities a British private school education can provide and I very much look forward to meeting you on our virtual Open Morning.
