Phoenix House International School

We offer Phoenix House families the best parts of a British and International education.

Our philosophy and vision for the school places crucial importance on a rigorous and challenging academic curriculum, but has equal value on the development of self-confidence and character. Our school motto is ‘Alis grave nil’ - nothing is heavy to those who have wings.

We provide our children, community and school with everything required to not only fly, but soar. The academic experience at Phoenix House is language-rich and children are at the centre of everything we do. This experience is strengthened by our wide range of enrichment programmes, both through our clubs and throughout the school day. Children are given opportunities to develop a range of skills and discover areas outside of the classroom environment where they discover their passions and their potential.

Our school offers a British prep school international education which integrates a thematic and enquiry-based learning approach.

We want all children at Phoenix House to become absorbed in their studies; finding subject areas they love while challenging themselves in others is part of everyday school life. A Phoenix House education is tailored to the needs of the children and their future aspirations, and at every level we strive to make our pupils independent learners, well-prepared for the next stage in their development.

Our teaching team adapt and enhance programmes of study to ensure that each pupil is motivated, inspired and challenged. In addition to the core subjects of English and Mathematics, the PH curriculum includes Oracy, Science, Humanities, Modern Languages, Music, Computing, Art, Design & Technology and PE.

Classes are small and in this way a very individual approach can be offered to every child so that the pitch and pace is appropriate. We recognise that emotional health and academic development are interlinked, and so PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education) and SRE (Sex and Relationship Education) form part of the programme.

Our mission is to foster young people who enjoy learning, can work collaboratively, communicate clearly, and think critically.

Our House programme provides a platform on which children can build their communication, teamwork and collaborative learning skills. We want all of our children to become resilient and determined, ready to take on the challenges of being a global citizen of an ever-changing world. The Phoenix House environment nurtures these characteristics with the values of creativity, honesty, kindness and curiosity, which underpin all that we do.

We are also delighted to offer unique enrichment experiences at our North Peak campus and residential lodge in Hokkaido. Here, we infuse the very best of great outdoors education and the natural world with a traditionally British independent boarding school setting.

At Phoenix House, we would be delighted to offer you a tour of our wonderful school, so please do come and visit us. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
