Built in 1870 and proud of its status as a UNESCO school, Earlscliffe is an independent college with an outstanding reputation. It offers an intimate and highly-personalised educational environment with a focus on university preparation. Close to the world-famous White Cliffs of Dover, Earlscliffe is located in the artistic English seaside town of Folkestone, in Kent, known as ‘the garden of England.’ It’s walking distance to the beach and centre of town, and an easy hour on the train to London – with day trips to Margate, Windsor and Canterbury also possible. Comprising eight Victorian and Edwardian buildings that have recently been refurbished to a high standard, sports such as tag rugby, French cricket and basketball are actively encouraged.
