Principal’s Welcome

Welcome to Bishopstrow

At Bishopstrow College we pride ourselves on our reputation for providing a friendly, supportive and professional EFL learning environment for international students aged 7-17.

This is a welcoming place where students can develop their English language skills, discover the British education system, explore the culture of the UK and make friends from all over the world.

From day one, we encourage students to always speak in English and we support them to confidently participate in class. We provide a broad, inspiring, and exciting EFL based curriculum so our students discover many ways to enjoy a UK boarding school education.

Our role is to guide our students to become independent, lifelong learners and critical thinkers and to prepare them for their next phase of education, ensuring a successful future.

We recognise every student as an individual and support them to reach their full potential, whether they are with us for a term, a year or longer.

We look forward to welcoming you to Bishopstrow College. Come and you see for yourself why our reputation is so well deserved!

Josephine Velthoven
Principal, Bishopstrow College
