Big ideas, infinite possibilities. Shaping the thinkers and leaders of tomorrow.

“Westbourne is one of the most consistently high-achieving independent schools” Sunday Times Best Schools Guide

Best in class, shaping global futures.

Rooted in their local communities, united through myriad international opportunities, we are guided by a simple yet profound mission: to develop leaders of the future in STEM & Business careers on the global stage.  We achieve this by fundamentally reframing the paradigm of secondary education.

Our global model captures the innovative pulse of a tech startup, the strategic thinking of a top-tier consultancy and the creative problem-solving found at the heart of an R&D powerhouse. We live and breathe that every single day. 

Our starting premise is that we treat and engage with all our students – from day 1 – as young professionals as if they were at their first day of work … after university. We set the highest of standards, and with the support of our world-class teachers globally, we support and guide our students to achieve the highest of goals.

  • “Before coming to Westbourne, I wasn’t really good at Maths. When you go to university, Maths becomes a universal tool for any science student. When I came here, I got a lot of help honing my Maths skills, starting from zero and going up and up, improving and being able to utilise and implement those concepts into scientific contexts”
