This aim extends beyond the pupils’ time at Mill Hill International; we hope that the pupils’ progress will be sufficient to allow them to achieve their full potential as they continue their educational journey, whether in the UK or further afield.
The academic curriculum is complemented by an extensive programme of Games and Activities. The breadth of the curriculum, both inside and outside of the classroom, provides opportunities for all pupils to enjoy a full range of activities, sports and intellectual disciplines.

We aim to give all pupils an understanding of themselves as learners, as young adults and as global citizens.
