Earlscliffe

Earlscliffe, an independent college that offers university preparation for 15 to 19 year olds from all over the world. We offer the best of British education: the so-called ‘gold standard’ A-Level programme in traditional subjects, providing students with the best academic preparation for entry into the world’s most competitive universities. As you read about Earlscliffe on this website or in our prospectus, you will discover how we offer a breadth of experience and a variety of rigorous supplementary activities that contribute to a student at Earlscliffe gaining a significant advantage over his or her peers elsewhere.

Earlscliffe is a small, residential college where each student will find support and encouragement from us all as they at first settle in and then proceed to make their own mark on the college. As students progress through A-level studies and, with our guidance, make university applications in their final year and then push on to attain their academic aims and objectives, they will forge lasting friendships and lead gloriously busy lives as self- motivated young men and women. Earlscliffe offers a personalised education like no other college of its kind. It is a unique experience, drawing on the traditions and methods of Oxbridge colleges, top public schools, Ivy League universities and innovative best practice.

With over fifty years’ joint experience in teaching and leading in well-known schools in England, our Director, Tim Fish and Head Teacher, James Harding are best-placed to provide an arena of academic stimulus, intellectual rigour, cultural enrichment, vigorous internationalism and, ultimately, personal success, in which our students perform to their very best abilities. Furthermore, we want Earlscliffe students to have fun when learning. The American Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman said, ‘the highest forms of understanding we can achieve are laughter and human compassion’.

We work alongside and lead a team of experienced academic subject teachers who provide our students with the knowledge, skills, motivation and enrichment necessary to attain high grades at A-level and subsequently undergraduate places at the UK’s best universities. We both extend a warm invitation for you to visit Earlscliffe to discuss how we, together, can fulfil your highest aims.
