Overview
Overview
"Friendship Through Education" is the guiding phrase at Felixstowe International College, where day pupils and boarders aged 9 to 19 share a small, international setting shaped by Christian values. Boarders move from lessons into supper, prep and evening activities, giving residential life a practical place in the daily rhythm rather than treating it as a separate add-on.
English, mathematics, science, history, geography, computing, art, music, drama and philosophy precede GCSE and IGCSE choices. Careers tutorials, further-study guidance and Cambridge International examinations sit alongside up to seven one-hour lessons, assembly, breaks and lunch. LAMDA, STEM and music clubs widen the programme.
The college is co-educational, has a sixth form and takes both day and boarding pupils. Admissions are direct: interview, registration and recent reports are considered with English ability, academic potential and attitude. No specific entrance-test preparation is required, making the individual conversation and evidence from previous study more important than a standardised entry paper.
