Rochester Independent College, London:
Rochester Independent College, established in 1984, offers a distinctive alternative to a conventional sixth form and a stepping stone between school and university. We are located in the County of Kent, just East of London. We accept day students from the age of 11 and boarders from the age of 16.

Our focus is on examination success in a lively, supportive and informal atmosphere. Students are encouraged to be themselves and achieve exam results that often exceed their expectations. Rochester Independent College is accredited by the ISC (Independent Schools Council) and a member of the ISA (Independent Schools Association). The College's January 2008 Ofsted report judged that "the quality of education is outstanding."

Students come to us from all over the UK and the world, as well as the local area. There are no bells ringing, no uniforms and everybody is on first name terms. The College has an atmosphere closer to university than school where students are treated as young adults.

Courses / Programs:
Most full time students at the College are here to study GCSE courses in the Lower School; One or two year A level courses in sixth form, Visual and Creative Art courses, English as a Foreign Language (ESL) courses or a combination of these. Many students are taking subjects or courses for the first time while other students may be resitting exams. The average class size is eight, ensuring that each student gets the individual attention that they need.
