Mrs Yalcinkaya, Mother of Berrak from Turkey, recently shared a wonderful testimonial about their experience with us.
“We would wholeheartedly recommend the King’s School International College to any family looking for a school where their child feels happy, safe and truly at home.
As parents, sending our daughter from Turkey to study in the UK was one of the biggest and best decisions we have ever made.
From the very beginning, Berrak felt welcomed and supported. The care shown by the staff gave us real peace of mind. There were many times when it honestly didn`t feel like she was away at boarding school. As parents, we felt she was in very good hands with people who genuinely cared about her.
When we spoke to her, she always sounded happy and settled, which meant a great deal to us.
The school’s compact, international environment also made for a very smooth transition, helping her adapt to the British system gradually before moving on to a larger senior school.
The teachers quickly recognised her strengths and knew when to encourage her and when to challenge her. They believed in her and that made a noticeable difference to her confidence. We always felt she was treated as an individual.
When Berrak arrived at King`s, she was already a national-level fencer in Turkey. The school`s fencing tradition was one of the things that stood out to us and it certainly lived up to our expectations. She represented the school in fencing at national and international competitions, achieving strong results. We are grateful for the support she received through the fencing club which played an important role in her development in fencing.
What we will remember most is how much she changed over the year. She came back more confident, independent, and far more self-assured. That development means more to us than any report or result.
We are very grateful to everyone at the school for the care and encouragement they gave Berrak."
We have a limited number of spaces available for September – please do get in touch with our friendly admissions team if interested via link in bio.

As the year has now come to the end, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for your support throughout the year. Your children have worked hard, achieved a great deal both inside and outside the classroom, and have been a joy to teach. We are enormously proud of everything they have accomplished, and the community they have created together has been a real pleasure to be part of.
We wish all our families a restful and enjoyable summer. To our leavers, we extend our very warmest wishes for the next chapter. We hope you carry fond memories of your time with us and go on to thrive in everything that lies ahead. It is a real pleasure to know that so many of our Year 9 and Year 10 students will be returning in September, and we will be in touch before the start of term with all the information you need for the new school year. Enjoy the Summer holidays.
Our International College students had an amazing adventure at @goapetribe, set within the stunning grounds of @leedscastleuk From tackling high ropes and zip lines to cheering each other on through every challenge, it was a fantastic opportunity to build confidence, make new friends, and create lasting memories.
Experiences like these are all part of studying in the UK, exploring incredible places, embracing new challenges, and enjoying life beyond the classroom.
A huge well done to everyone who took part! 🎉

Our International College community came together to celebrate the graduation of our Year 11 students in a memorable ceremony attended by a wonderful turnout of parents, families, and staff.
The event began with a series of impressive musical performances, showcasing the talent and creativity of our students and setting the tone for a meaningful afternoon of celebration.
As each graduate received their certificate, we reflected on the friendships, achievements, and personal growth that have defined their journey with us. While it is always difficult to say goodbye, we are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished and excited for the opportunities that lie ahead.
The majority of our graduates will continue their educational journey at The King’s School Canterbury, while others will be joining outstanding institutions including Brighton College, Cardiff Sixth Form College, and St Edward’s School, Oxford (Teddies).
We thank our parents and families for their continued support and partnership throughout the years. To our graduating class: congratulations on this important milestone. We wish you every success and happiness in the next chapter of your journey.
