International Boarding School in Wales, UK
UWC Atlantic College:
UWC Atlantic College is an international residential school based in the UK. We are an independent, co-educational sixth form college based in the Vale of Glamorgan, a 45 minute drive from Cardiff, Wales. Each year, 350 students aged 16-18 from 80 different countries benefit from a world-class International Baccalaureate educational experience.
Atlantic College is located in the 12th century St Donats Castle on the dramatic South Wales coastline, overlooking the Bristol Channel. Students and visitors enjoy the serenity and beauty of the formal terraced gardens that lead from the castle down to the seafront. From there, the coastal path running along the tops of the cliffs offers refreshing walks with views out over the Bristol Channel to North Somerset.
The village of St Donats is a 45-minute drive from Cardiff, Europe's youngest capital, 20 minutes from Cardiff's International Airport, and two and a half hours by train or car from London. The local town, Llantwit Major, has a local rail link to Cardiff and Bridgend. Llantwit Major is part of the Vale of Glamorgan Train Line from Bridgend to Cardiff. Trains run hourly and Llantwit Major is less than a 10 minute taxi ride to St Donat's.

Location and Facilities:
The 12th century St Donats Castle in the Vale of Glamorgan is the beating heart of the Atlantic College community on a campus mixing the historic and the new. The campus, providing a home for the 350 students and 40 staff, is an estate on the south coast of Wales, some 30 km from Cardiff. About a third of the 60 hectare campus is tranquil natural woodland and the pastures of the organic farm occupy another third.
The castle houses classrooms, performance hall, dining hall and a library collection of more than 25,000 volumes in a variety of languages. Also on campus are student residency houses, well-equipped science laboratories, computer facilities, music practice rooms, theatre, student social centre and an independent arts centre.

Rochester Independent College
Courses / Programs
Located in the County of Kent, just east of London, Rochester Independent College (RIC) is a progressive alternative to conventional secondary education with a happily distinctive ethos. Accepting day students from the age of 11 and boarders from 16, the focus is on exam success in a lively, supportive and informal atmosphere. Students are encouraged to be themselves and achieve exam results that often exceed their expectations.
The College has an atmosphere closer to university than school. About 65 of the College's 280 students are boarders. Our Halls combine the informality of a university residence with the supervision and pastoral support appropriate for young adults.
The College offers students the opportunity to thrive in an atmosphere of managed independence, and acts as a stepping stone between school and university.
Students who are 15 are considered if their 16th birthday falls within the first half term of the academic year. College accommodation is in either single or double rooms. All rooms have a direct telephone and internet connection.
RIC is accredited by the ISC (Independent Schools Council) and a member of the Independent Schools Association.
