Bournemouth Collegiate School

The Bournemouth Collegiate School prepares students aged 11 to 18 for university. There is a day preparatory school for children from 3 years old, which is located in the neighbouring city of Pula. Every year the school accepts foreign students from all over the world.

The school is located near the centre of Bournemouth, 200 meters from the beach, on the banks of the English Channel. This city is ideal not only for relaxation, but also for training. Clean sandy beaches, mild climate and warm sea every year more and more attracts schoolchildren and students to get an education here in Bournemouth.

Bournemouth Collegiate School is the only school in its region that offers a full cycle of secondary education: from preparatory classes to the Sixth Form. In response to the ever-growing demand, the school is introducing new subjects under the GCSE and A-level programs. Pupils and their parents, among other things, are attracted by the small number of students in the class and the excellent equipment of both schools: preparatory and senior.

Number of students in the school: 650.
