ESF Discovery College

    Discovery College was established in 2008, part of the English Schools
    Foundation (ESF) and is one of the two Private Independent Schools (PIS) within
    ESF. The school is an all-through school, providing an unbeatable setting for children
    to learn across the whole of their educational journey. The school follows the
    International Baccalaureate (IB) from Year 1 to Year 13, providing a consistent and
    coherent approach to children’s learning at every step.The student-centred, inquiry-
    based learning model at the heart of the programmes aligns perfectly with the
    school’s beliefs about the importance of guiding each and every student to be the
    best that they can be. The school’s guiding principles are to grow, discover and
    dream.
