About

Abbey College Cambridge is a top-performing co-ed independent day and boarding school located in the heart of Cambridge. We offer a range of courses for students aged between 13 21 years. Over 400 students from more than 40 countries study with us. They are united by an ambition to enter the UKs top universities.

Our students, working with our experienced, professional, highly skilled staff, form a vibrant community. A place that is dedicated to securing outstanding achievement for all. Our students speak of the college environment as being like a family. From day one they are made to feel very welcome both in and outside of their lessons.

In our accommodation they make new friends and thrive in a truly inclusive international environment. Our students' track record speaks for itself, and their results have established our college as one of the very best in the UK. In A Levels, our students have averaged 65% A*-A, and 83% A*-B grades over the last 10 years.

Our location in the city of Cambridge is a fusion of the everyday and the extraordinary. It is a city that has shaped our history and continues to make its mark on our future.
