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.

100% Pass Rate For The IB Diploma
We are delighted to share the outstanding achievements of our students in the IBDP results.
Out of the 86 diploma students who participated, one of our biggest cohorts to date, 100% successfully passed and 86% scored higher than the world average (30.32), our Southbank average is 36. This is a remarkable feat and something we are extremely proud of.
*A score of 34-37 in the IB is roughly equivalent to AAA at A-Level. These comparisons are approximations and can vary by subject and university.
Congratualtions to our Class of 2024 for achieving such fantastic IB Diploma results which reflect their phenomenal academic performance.
A different approach to academic excellence.
"A school for students who think differently, challenge confidently, dream bigger, question more, explore further."

👏 A huge congratulations to Mr. Zach Fihosy, our brilliant DT teacher, who completed the London Marathon this year — and what a journey it was!
Running through the streets of his home city, Mr. Fihosy described the experience as “indescribable,” with phenomenal support and energy from friends, family, and the Southbank community helping him push through the toughest moments.
Even more inspiring, he ran in support of @CureEBorg, raising an incredible £1,551 to help fund vital research into finding a cure for Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a rare skin condition.
We’re so proud of his achievement, determination, and commitment to such a meaningful cause. 🏅💙

🇪🇸✨ This June, our Grade 8 students embarked on an unforgettable language and cultural adventure in sunny Valencia, Spain!
From exploring Europe’s largest aquarium at Oceanogràfic—where we came face-to-face with sharks and penguins—to climbing the Miguelete Tower for breathtaking city views, every moment was filled with discovery and excitement.
Students learned to cook authentic paella in the courtyard of Españolé language school and wrapped up the day dancing bachata under the Spanish sun. 🌞🎶
This immersive experience not only brought the Spanish language to life but created memories to last a lifetime.
¡Gracias, Valencia, for such an inspiring trip!
