International and Visiting Students Programme
International and Visiting Students Programme
Living and studying overseas at a young age is a very rich and rewarding experience both for you and for your British classmates. You will be fully integrated into our own classes of native English speaking children and together you will follow the Waldorf curriculum used worldwide.
To learn more email us on: admissions@ringwoodwaldorfschool.org.uk
It is a great environment to improve your English at your own speed and to help you, we offer EFL (English as a Foreign Language) lessons to all non-native speaker students. There are no compulsory formal exams, but there is an option to sit GCSEs in maths and English in Class Ten.
We offer a wide ranging curriculum including arts, crafts, drama, music, physical activities, maths, science, languages and much more! Classes are small (15-20 on average) and have a caring, intimate and friendly atmosphere. You will acquire proficiency and competence in the English language very naturally by virtue of being in daily contact with English speaking people.
The enrolment of visiting students is managed by Ringwood Waldorf School and our partner organisation The Lewis School of English.
