Halcyon London International School

London, Westminster, Greater London · W1H 5AU

One of the few schools in central London to teach the International Baccalaureate from start to finish, Halcyon London International School offers a distinctly global education in the heart of Westminster. Founded in 2013, it remains deliberately small, with around 155 pupils and a sixth form of 48, allowing close attention to each child. Around 18 per cent of pupils receive SEN support, a notably high proportion that reflects an inclusive intake. Under Director Jeff Lippman, the school is independently inspected by the ISI.

Teaching & academics

The curriculum is built entirely around the IB, an internationally recognised programme that emphasises breadth, critical thinking and learning across cultures. With nearly a third of its pupils in the sixth form, Halcyon is geared towards guiding students through to the IB Diploma and on to university. The small roll keeps class sizes intimate throughout.
