A Global Family of Schools
Wycombe Abbey International has successfully overseen the establishment of several international schools through a series of strategic partnerships with high-quality education providers. There are currently four international schools in Greater China, with new schools opening in Korea soon.
As a unit, the schools provide an outstanding, holistic education with a particular focus on academic excellence, which Wycombe Abbey is renowned for, and enable their graduates to go on to the best universities in the world. They offer a rich and varied co-curricular programme, helping students become future-focused leaders who will make a positive difference in the world.
Within the global family of schools, there are opportunities for teachers and pupils to collaborate on international projects. This enables staff to understand different educational settings and share best practices as part of their continuous professional development, while students develop their global perspectives through interaction with peers.
