About Earlscliffe
Earlscliffe is an independent boarding college on Shorncliffe Road in Folkestone, on the Kent coast and within reach of both London and the Channel Tunnel. Class size is the thing the college leads with, and it is specific about it: classes average around seven students, and when one approaches 12 or 13 an additional class is opened rather than letting the group grow. That is a firmer commitment than the vague "small classes" most colleges offer. The A-Level range of 21 subjects is broad for a college of this size, and the language provision is exceptional: Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish are all taught. For a student wanting an unusual language at A-Level, there are few places in the country with a comparable list. Students live in six boarding houses. The college does not publish its fees online, so you will need to contact admissions for current rates.
