About

Earlscliffe is a modern independent school and sixth form in a traditional environment for 15 to 19 year old young people from all over the world. We have an experienced and expert community of boarding, pastoral care and teaching staff. They provide the support, care, knowledge, skills, motivation and enrichment necessary to attain high grades.

We are familiar with the need to find a course that enables successful progression to each students target degree course and career whilst also providing them with the opportunity to develop and mature as individuals. Our team believe that what you learn outside the classroom can be as significant as your academic experience.

Our key courses consist of two-year A-level; one year GCSE and a Extended Business Diploma. Students benefit from studying English for Academic Purposes as a part of their studies at Earlscliffe; an essential component of success irrespective of the course being studied.

Earlscliffe was built in 1870 as a large, private house in Folkestone's desirable West End, a short stroll from the sea and Folkestone's famous promenade; The Leas .
