Southbank International School - Westminster Campus Portland

Southbank International School’s Westminster campus offers a specialized environment for students aged 11 to 18, centered on the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework. Located in the heart of London, the school utilizes the city itself as an extension of the classroom, with students frequently visiting nearby galleries, the British Museum, and Regent’s Park for practical study and physical education. The Portland Place site focuses on the Middle Years Programme (MYP), where small class sizes—averaging 13 pupils—ensure individualized attention and a collaborative atmosphere. One of the school's most distinctive features is its "school without walls" philosophy; there is no mandatory school uniform and no traditional school bells, fostering a liberal ethos that encourages independence and self-discipline. A signature initiative is the London Exploration Society, which integrates the city’s cultural and historic riches directly into the curriculum. This approach prepares students for the Diploma Programme (DP), consistently resulting in high outcomes that facilitate entry into leading global universities.
