Our philosophy

Each of our schools is as unique as the students within them, they are however linked by a common purpose: inspiring excellence.


Our mission is to provide students with the best possible preparation for the pursuit of global careers, developing the skills, characteristics and academic rigour to excel as leaders of the future within their chosen fields.

Part of that mission is to make STEM careers more attractive and appealing to the widest possible student base. In particular, encouraging young women to consider STEM careers.

A small-class, highly supportive, gender-balanced environment with exceptional access to some of the worlds’ sharpest innovators, educators and leaders ensures an unmatched educational opportunity for Westbourne students.

“You can teach to an ‘A’. It is the interconnectivity and unique student bond that empowers students to believe in themselves and stretch for the A*.”

Lisa Phillips, Academic Director & IB Coordinator, Westbourne UK


 

 

Our schools


The pursuit of excellence permeates every Westbourne school. Building on our 128-year history and having proven our unique model of high quality and modest cost for over a decade, firstly in the UK, then Singapore, Sydney, and shortly in India, our aim is to double our reach and impact within the next 5 years.

Our ‘3-in-3’ strategy is for each and every one of our schools to rank in the Top 3 academic schools in their markets within 3 years of results.
