Overseas Students

Durham School welcomes pupils of all ages from overseas and we greatly value the richness and the diversity that they bring to our community. Each year a number of pupils from overseas join the School, the majority of whom come from Hong Kong, mainland China and Germany, although we are always delighted to hear from applicants from any overseas country.

Living and learning in a completely different country (often with major cultural differences to cope with as well) can be a daunting experience but we generally find that our overseas pupils settle quickly into their new life. They are helped in this by the friendliness of the community as a whole (and of the boarding Houses in particular), by the helpfulness of our boarding staff and by the support of our excellent English as a Second Language Department whose input goes well beyond the mere teaching of English.

"Durham School offers a host of opportunities for all interests. Our son enjoys everything he has encountered – but especially music, where the dedication and the ability of the staff is remarkable. We can’t keep him away!"
