Southbank International School-Westminster

Facilities

Southbank is a school whose quality and identity rest on its commitment to the IB and the promotion of internationalism. With over seventy nationalities on our roll, we live and breathe the spirit of internationalism, as reflected in our three programmes of study and the many activities outside the classroom. Southbank uses London as our classroom. We take full advantage of the city’s cultural riches. This gives our students access to educational enrichment that is perhaps unparalleled anywhere else in the world.

We take seriously the IB goals of educating the whole person and fostering a more compassionate and active citizenry. Southbank students engage in the local community undertaking a wide variety of charity work both in the UK and abroad. Every year we recognise a student or group of students whose activities have demonstrated a genuine sense of service to others. The school has a strong extracurricular programme that reflects its commitment to holistic education and the development of students’ potential in its widest sense. Music, sport, and drama – among other activities – contribute to a rich diet of opportunities.

Middle Years Programme (MYP) (11-15 years old)

Based at our Portland Place campus the Middle Years Programme shares the Primary Years Programme’s commitment to learning through inquiry and continues to develop attributes of the IB learner profile. The MYP emphasises intellectual challenge, encouraging students to make connections between their studies in traditional subjects and the real world. At Southbank, we foster the development of skills for communication, intercultural understanding and global engagement, essential qualities for young people who are becoming global leaders.

We are conveniently located near Regent’s Park with good transportation links nearby. Facilities at Westminster include science labs, a computer lab, a theatre, cafeteria, art and music rooms, and a library.

Diploma Programme (DP) (15-18 years old)

Based at our Conway Street and Cleveland Street campuses, the Diploma Programme encourages students to ask challenging questions, develop a strong sense of their own identity and culture, and develop the ability to communicate with and understand people from other countries and cultures. It prepares students for the next stage in their education and the qualification is widely-recognised by the world’s leading universities.

Facilities at Conway Street include a science lab, library resource centre, art studio, social space/hall and language suite across four stories. Southbank also have three dedicated highly qualified and experienced Future Guidance Team who offer comprehensive future options information, advice and guidance for higher education and alternative pathways, within both global and local environments.
