The Orbital Education school community spans four continents; Europe, Asia, North and South America. Our twelve schools celebrate diversity as each school is rooted in their local culture and language, with an international student base, multi-language approach and global vision.
All Orbital schools are unwavering in their commitment to delivering outstanding education. To us, this reaches beyond unrivalled academic teaching for excellent exam results. Our educational ethos takes a nurturing, wellbeing-centred approach, where students are supported to fulfil their potential and enjoy their school days.
Everyone in our school community, from our central team to our youngest students, is encouraged to live by our strong core values. With this approach, we work together to provide the best outcome for every single student.
