As a former pupil of St.Lawrence College myself, I was delighted when we were able to start offering it as the location for our junior summer residential programme.

I would equally be delighted to assist students wishing to attend St.Lawrence College as a boarder for an academic year or longer. This can include assistance with completing the enrolment process, organising persoanl transfers from London airports for interviews or at the start and end of terms as well as personal introductions at the college.

Around 20% of the school's student population annually comes from outside the UK; them welcoming students from Western Europe, Africa, Far East Asia, Russia – making around 25 different nationalities in total. The majority of these are boarding students.

Overseas boarders participate fully in the academic and pastoral life of the College, along with the sports and activities programmes. Some may need additional English training, whilst others will not.

The school tries to pre-test all overseas students to better assess their academic needs before they arrive. If this is not possible a level check test will be given on arrival. They have a small but thriving EAL Centre for those students whose English level is not yet up to the task of studying all subjects comfortably in a new language and tend to take the overseas students out of the main Modern and Classical Languages, to provide them with additional English as a Foreign Language training in their place.

Overseas students aim to take the Cambridge First Certificate (FCE) and International English Language Testing System (IELTS) examinations in Years 11 and 12 respectively, to facilitate university applications the following year. Students may also wish to prepare the TOEIC and TOEFL examinations during their time with the college.

To enquire about this service please e-mail me and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

With kind regards
