The Westminster campus is conveniently located in central London near Regent’s Park and facilities include several science labs, a computer lab, a hall/theatre, art and music rooms, and two libraries served by networked computers.

English is the language of instruction, but students may also study their native level language: currently 17 languages are offered as first or second languages. English as an Additional Language (EAL) is also offered throughout the school. All students progress to universities mainly in the UK, but also around the world. As a leading International Baccalaureate School in London, Southbank attracts very well-qualified and internationally experienced teachers.
Southbank is a fabulous place to work - we are a friendly, happy school in Central London with a wonderful culture of support and collaboration, lovely staff and students from all around the world.
