For the partnership to be successful, it is important that our school partners,
students and their parents feel they are members of the Kings international
family, as well as the partner school.
We work with our partners to ensure this can be achieved in several
complementary ways, with a menu of services and support from which we
tailor a relationship model to meet our partners’ needs.
“Kings have provided our students with a new, global educational opportunity and
outlook. With support from Kings, we have now established three centres which provide
international programmes to prepare students for study in the US or UK.
We deliver general and specialist subject preparation. Our students already feel part of
the Kings community and gain much greater confidence through their preparation.
Kings provide excellent on-going support, ensuring our students understand the broad
range of opportunities available to them and select the best options to suit them. We have grown very quickly and are now building a new college with capacity for 500 students to meet the demand.”

Relationships with Kings staff
- We ensure regular interaction with the wider Kings family globally. This is achieved through regular visits by our leadership and academic teams, as well as online interaction.
- Kings staff can also attend regular open days and training events.
- Through these means students (and parents) understand and share Kings’ values and feel that they are very much part of the Kings family.
Experience of US and UK education
- Overseas summer programmes can be an integral part of the overall programmes to provide a valuable taster of life and learning in the US and/or UK.
- We ensure students (and parents) understand the UK and US education systems and the opportunities which exist for overseas study with Kings.
Curriculum mapping and recognition
- Kings expert counselling and support services for progression to the US and UK.
- Academic support for local delivery of internally accredited language and academic preparation programmes.
- Support for the local delivery of externally accredited language and academic preparation programmes.
Kings learning resources and materials
- Our online learning platform — called Classmate — is used by all Kings students around the world to supplement their class-based lessons. It is the ideal way for students within the partner school to connect directly with Kings teachers and students at our campuses in the US and UK, as well as at other partner schools.
- We can provide Kings branded course materials, notebooks and pens to provide regular touch points with Kings during the programme.
Kings branded learning environments
Some of our partners find a Kings uniform is a popular way of fostering a sense of belonging with the wider Kings world. These can either be formal or informal as befits the existing school culture
