Since adopting the IB over 20 years ago as one of our pathways to university, Ardingly College has sought to ensure that our students develop a truly global perspective.
Ardingly College International was established as the natural extension of this endeavour and aims to establish Ardingly College international schools in partnership with organisations who share and can contribute to our World Ready vision globally.
Ardingly College Zhongshan
Ardingly College Zhongshan is the first Ardingly College International school. 70 minutes by ferry from Hong Kong, the school’s buildings have been designed and equipped to an exceptionally high standard. Ardingly College Zhongshan educates students from 3-18 years of age, with a curriculum that is a bilingual blend of Chinese, UK and IB content and pedagogy. We are collaborating and advising on all aspects of education at the school and look forward to helping the school develop further over the years ahead.
Ardingly Astana
Ardingly is in the process of opening two new international schools in Kazakhstan; the first of which opened in Astana in September 2024, followed by a sister school in Almaty to open in September 2025. The partnership also includes the potential to open three further regional schools in Kazakhstan.
Ardingly College International Educational Consultancy
In the last five years, Ardingly’s International team has delivered focused educational consultancy to selected schools and organisations around the world, including in China, Kenya, UAE and Vietnam. We have advised these schools on a variety of projects, including strengthening pastoral care structures, developing a new curriculum and providing overall strategic counsel.
Ardingly College Worldwide
Ardingly is aiming to establish schools in India, throughout the GCC region, and across South East Asia in the years ahead. As with Ardingly College Zhongshan and Ardingly Astana, these international schools will reflect Ardingly’s ‘World Ready’ ethos whilst being contextualised for each national and local market. By blending the UK/IB and local curriculum landscapes across our family of Ardingly College schools, we will ensure that our vision is maintained whilst meeting the needs of students wherever they live.
