Introduction
Southbank International School is an independent international day school in central London offering the International Baccalaureate continuum to students aged 2–18. It operates across five central London sites on three campuses—Hampstead, Kensington and Westminster—with additional locations at Conway Street, Portland Place and Cleveland Street. Founded in 1979, it was the first UK school to offer PYP, MYP and DP, and is part of the Cognita group. Instruction is in English, with English as an Additional Language support available. The IB framework is delivered across PYP (Hampstead and Kensington, ages 3–11) and MYP/DP at Westminster, Conway Street, Portland Place and Cleveland Street. Facilities include science laboratories, Mac-based IT suites, libraries, music and art rooms, plus social and study spaces. Hampstead and Kensington provide a dedicated early-years environment; Portland Place benefits from proximity to Regent's Park for outdoor sport. Extracurriculars include Global Issues Network, Model United Nations and the United States Academic Decathlon; strong arts ensembles and productions; and cultural and language activities such as Spanish support and the London Exploration Society. CAS is integrated into the Diploma Programme.
