We get great results, but our aims stretch beyond academic attainment. We prize the growth in confidence and curiosity of our students. Our small class sizes facilitate collaborative lessons with students learning their way around their subjects at the same time as they grow as people. We are informal and flexible, but we put students’ welfare first. Every year, we see how this ‘mindfulness’ leads to lifted hearts and lifted results. We are serious about past paper tests - every week! - so that students can learn from their correct and incorrect answers. That, alongside our excellent teaching, is at the heart of our A-Level and GCSE strategy.
Chelsea offers a diverse environment. As well as our local student body, we welcome students of over thirty different nationalities, and it is truly a pleasure to see people from this country and elsewhere working and socializing together. Some of our students are day pupils, some are boarders both thrive in our vibrant and welcoming modern buildings. Many are here for A-Levels, some for GCSEs all are treated in the same way and taught how to develop their strengths and happiness. Our staff are highly qualified in their field, and often, in other professional areas too - we are as much a home of barristers, architects, neuroscientists, world-class artists, and mathematicians as we are of teaching excellence.
It is where students from over 30 different countries come to London to study under first-class teachers who help them to attain top grades at GCSE and A-Level and to enter leading universities, including Oxford and Cambridge. Our British students, who come to CIC to maximize their grade performance, complement this international mix.
CIC is also somewhere you can be yourself there is a strong culture of inclusiveness and openness that runs right the way through the college, and which promotes freedom of individual ambition and expression. We want our students to leave us as confident, culturally aware young men and women who are self-assured regarding their ability yet humble and, crucially, flexible when it comes to approaching their careers in a rapidly changing world.
London is not only a great world city, but it is also a center of excellence in education, home to some of the finest schools and universities anywhere in the world. We make full use of our central London location, both to support our students' studies and to provide a full range of extra-curricular activities which enable them to develop a range of other interests, a very important consideration when applying to leading universities.
