USA Universities

Over recent years there has been increased interest in the trans-Atlantic option for Higher Education, and we have made good use of our own American staff in learning about the process.  In the last three years the School has set up a SAT prep course, and also established itself as an SAT test centre.

In June each year, the School hosts a conference aimed at providing information about the university system in the USA.  We decided to run this conference as a way of enabling information and good practice about applying to the US universities to be spread amongst a wide audience, making full use of our own knowledge and expertise as well as that of outside consultants. 

The focus of the conference alternates between advice to schools, and to potential students and their parents, in a two-year cycle.  We invite a wide range of schools and colleges in the Midlands and North of England, and we also invite our old friends within the Rugby Group.  On alternate years, we extend the invitation to interested students and their parents at these institutions.
