We found this one in the archives and honestly? It hasn’t aged a bit. 🌊☀️
Our students say it better than we ever could. Folkestone is that kind of town.
🏖️ The beach, literally on your doorstep
🚂 Central London in 54 minutes by high-speed train
🌿 A safe, leafy residential neighbourhood with beautiful Victorian architecture
🌍 International cuisine from around the world — and the Harbour Arm is something else entirely
☀️ And this summer? The weather has been absolutely stunning
Yes, this video is from last year. But ask any of our current students and they’ll tell you exactly the same thing, Folkestone in the summer is genuinely hard to beat.
We’re an international school set in one of the most beautiful and well-connected seaside towns in England. And right now, with September just around the corner, there has never been a better time to come and see it for yourself.
