Founding of Bishopstrow College

Bishopstrow College’s journey, marked by landing in 2006, stands as a testament to quality education for international students in the United Kingdom. Ian and Fran Henson founded the college with a simple goal: to provide a top-notch education experience for students from around the globe.

The Early Days

In its early days, Bishopstrow College welcomed 40 students from more than 10 different countries – a diverse mix reflecting the global tapestry the college represents. Enrollments varied from quick two-week visits to year-long stays, some with the goal of preparing for UK boarding schools, others just visiting during school holidays. Regardless of the duration, everyone found a home at Bishopstrow.

Growth and Global Reach

Bishopstrow College has become the preferred choice for international students seeking education in the UK. Over 2,000 students from 40 countries like Azerbaijan, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, and Turkey have walked its halls. It’s not just about the numbers, it’s about the global family that has been built.

Partnerships and Opportunities

Bishopstrow College has served as a stepping stone for students reaching over 150 leading prep and senior schools in the UK and beyond – in countries like Canada, Germany, Switzerland, and the US. With partnerships with 100+ boarding schools in the UK, students are given the keys to a diverse array of educational opportunities.

Virtues

Bishopstrow College lives by the “Five Virtues” – Kindness, Politeness, Organization, Hard Work, and Teamwork. This isn’t a fancy philosophy; it’s just the way things are done. These virtues aren’t just words on paper; they are the heartbeat of the community. It’s not about individuals, it’s about working together.

Partnership with Inspiring Futures Education

In August 2014, Bishopstrow College joined Inspiring Futures Education, a heavyweight in the international education arena. This partnership has propelled the college forward while maintaining the focus on quality education.

Today and Beyond

Today, Bishopstrow College is more than just a name; it’s a global education powerhouse. It’s not about maintaining boundaries; it’s about breaking them. The college is not just in the UK; it reaches beyond. The commitment to excellence, innovation, and equipping students with the skills to conquer a shrinking world remains strong.
