International Schools in Cambridge, United Kingdom

Cambridge’s international-school sector is a mix of small international primaries, local independent day schools and specialist sixth-form and college campuses that recruit overseas students and sometimes offer boarding and intensive English preparation. Parents will commonly encounter British qualifications - national Key Stages, IGCSEs and A-levels - alongside international pathways such as the IB Diploma or university foundation programmes, and most schools teach in English while providing EAL and additional modern-language options. Annual fees vary widely by age, programme and whether boarding is included, so expect anything from lower four-figure day-fees up to mid five-figure sums for older boarding or specialist sixth-form provision and check each school’s published fee schedule for extras. State places in Cambridgeshire follow the local authority timetables and deadlines, while independent and international schools operate multiple entry points (common 4+, 7+, 11+, 13+ and 16+) with assessments, rolling enquiries and deposit requirements - so start enquiries well before your preferred term.
