Image of UWC Atlantic College, Llantwit Major, Wales 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.

Brockhurst and Marlston House Schools, Berkshire
Courses / Programs
Brockhurst and Marlston House Schools are twin day and boarding schools that share the same estate at Marlston, Hermitage in the Berkshire countryside. Brockhurst teaches boys from six to thirteen years of age, while Marlston House teaches girls of the same age.

Boys and girls are taught together in our vibrant co-educational pre-prep school (ages 3-6). From Year 2 they are taught separately in small, single-sex classes. We believe this is the best system for developing their academic potential.

Boys and girls continue to mix for the many social and extracurricular activities we provide. At the age of thirteen, their classes are combined again in preparation for the Common Entrance exams.

At Brockhurst and Marlston House Schools, we aim to provide a first-class, unique education in a disciplined and happy, family environment. Both schools offer a broad curriculum, which includes art, drama, music, and an exciting variety of other activities. This breadth is reflected in the range of scholarships achieved.

Approximately 1.25 hours drive west of London, our schools are situated in a magnificent Jacobean style mansion set in 500 acres of stunning Berkshire countryside. Our mission is to develop enthusiastic, self-confident and well-mannered girls and boys with enquiring minds.
