Welcome to Southbank International School

We are London's leading International Baccalaureate (IB) School, offering a different approach to academic excellence for children aged 2*-18

At our Central London campuses in Hampstead, Kensington and Westminster, we nurture talent, celebrate individuality and develop curious, inquisitive and constantly challenging minds. Our students consistently achieve outstanding results and first-choice university offers.

The International Baccalaureate (IB) program is enjoyed by both international learners and those who have not previously studied the IB, including children moving over from private primary or secondary schools. The IB aims to do more than other curricula. It builds students critical thinking skills, nurtures their curiosity and their ability to solve complex problems.

Through a commitment to academic excellence and a uniquely liberal ethos, the IB also develops students with an inner belief in themselves. Southbank students have an openness to the outside world and a desire to give back to communities on a local, national and global level.

It’s the end of Discovery Week, and as we wait for our Grades 6-11s to return from their adventures, we’d like to share a little about where they went and what they got up to. 

Grade 6 - Edale YHA in #Derbyshire 
Grade 7 - Sheringham YHA in #Norfolk 
Grade 8 - Dunfield House #Herefordshire
Grade 9 - Barton Camp #Somerset
Grade 10 - Ilam Hall YHA #Ashbourne
Grade 11 - Hartington Hall YHA #Derbyshire

Students enjoyed a range of individual and team bonding experiences in stunning surroundings. Activities included, fire-building using batteries, wire wool, cotton pads, and matches, night and day hikes, canoe sessions, savouring delicious meals such as a classic fish and chips, surfing the waves and crabbing by the shore. 

They also constructed bridge paths and climbed walls, enjoyed relaxing yoga sessions and cable car rides. Some students stepped back in time to the Victorian era, where they met people dressed in period costumes and learned about life during that time while others endured a challenging uphill stretch rewarded by a visit to a locally produced ice cream store!

We hope all our students had the best time creating forever memories with their friends. We can’t wait to hear more about their adventures next week!

It's Discovery Week and our #Westminster students in grades 6 - 11 are all off in different parts of the country having wonderful adventures! 

After a tricky journey through some narrow country lanes, our Grade 9 students arrived in high spirits at Barton Camp. They were put straight into groups and started getting to know each other through team-building activities.

Later in the evening, students were treated to lovely views after a night hike up the hill.
