Reach Higher
in the UK
With Kings, you can set your sights higher than
you thought possible. Take the first step to
securing your educational future in the UK.
Helping you achieve more
At Kings Education, our mission is to
maximise potential. We can turn an A
student into an A-star student; or a B student
into an A student. We are committed to
ensuring every international student leaves
us to achieve success at the best possible
university.
Over 95% of Kings A-level students and over
60% of Foundation students win places at the
UK’s top 30 universities. Every one of the top
50 UK universities, including the University
of Oxford and the University of Cambridge,
has accepted a student from Kings.
But, at Kings, you will not simply be coached
for university entry. You will leave us fully
equipped to excel throughout your degree
and thrive within wider university life.
Flexible pathways to UK
universities
Kings does not have a ‘one size fits all’
approach. Our range of programmes
means that we can offer flexible pathways
to a degree which take into account each
student’s abilities, needs and ambitions.
As well as GCSE and A-level programmes,
we also offer a one-year Advanced Level
Foundation, and specialist Foundations in
Art, Law, International Business and Tourism.
Complete care and support
We understand that each international
student needs specialist support, and strive
to ensure that the total student experience at
Kings is a happy, fulfilling and enriching one.
We focus on every element equally —
academic progress, English development,
cultural adjustment, personal support,
university guidance, extracurricular
opportunities and accommodation
provision.
