A newly established, academically selective international study centre for girls 

Set in the beautiful town of in Letchworth Garden City - just 30 minutes on the train from Central London - St. Francis' International Study Centre has been specifically created for Year 12 and Year 13 female students whose first language is not English, but whose academic ambition is clear.

St. Francis’ International Study Centre is proud to offer a different route to success for international students. Rather than expecting students to adapt instantly to a traditional Sixth Form model, we offer a carefully structured, supportive pathway that develops both academic excellence and advanced English fluency

• Specialist multilingual teaching

• Focused academic English development

• Smaller teaching groups

• Personalised progression routes

• Bespoke university guidance

This means students can access demanding A Level study while receiving the language, confidence and academic framework they need to succeed.

St Francis' International Study Centre is academically selective, with admissions designed to identify potential, ambition and future success. We consider:

• Academic potential

• Motivation and commitment

• English and Maths

• Language development needs

• Long-term academic goals

Our admissions process is designed to match students to the pathway where they can flourish most.

St Francis' International Study Centre is now accepting applications to start in September 2026.
