What We Offer Our Students
“You truly leave a lasting impact on everyone you work with - the lessons you taught me have been some of the most important things I’ve ever learned...”
We operate from the Stanton Guildhouse, nestled in the physical and cultural heart of the Cotswold hills.
Alongside our rigorous academic program, we offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities across arts and crafts, physical exercises, cultural learning and much more.
We give each student an opportunity to learn varied craft skills from master craftsmen, to make objects of beauty that they can take pride in.
Our unique project-based learning gives students a chance to deepen their knowledge, develop valuable skills and create projects that have real world value.
We have an invigorating schedule of daily physical activities, ranging from bouldering and mountain biking, to horse-riding and a ten-day surfing school on the North Cornwall coast.
