A historic market town with a 1,000-acre medieval deer park at its heart, Sevenoaks successfully combines conservation of its many architectural treasures and meeting the demands of a vibrant 21st century shopping destination, filled with high quality and often quirky independent shops, coffee stops, restaurants and inns.
Internationally renowned Sevenoaks School, where this program is housed, was established by the successful merchant William Sevenoaks in 1432 and makes a major contribution to the grandeur and development of the town center. Though the school is one of the oldest in the country, it has, in recent years, pioneered some of the most exciting educational ventures – including the International Baccalaureate. Its facilities clearly reflect this progressive outlook.
The school is just a short walk from the center of Sevenoaks. Central London is just 30 minutes away by train. The South Coast can reached in under an hour.
