Marymount International School, a small safe centre, is located on a private estate just 18km from central London. The campus is ideal for young children. It is safe, compact and has many excellent facilities, set in beautiful landscaped lawns and gardens. Heathrow and Gatwick airports under an hour away.
Nearby is the town of Kingston-upon-Thames, on the banks of the River Thames. Hampton Court Palace and Richmond Park, London's largest royal park, are close by.
Classrooms are modern and well-equipped. Good use is made of the IT facilities in the school library.
The multi-purpose sports hall caters for a wide variety of indoor sports, including basketball, volleyball and badminton. Outdoors, there is 5-a-side football, a tennis court and lawns for other games. The FabLab, art studio and spacious auditorium offer students maximum opportunities for creativity.
Discovery Summer is fun and educational. You learn many things but it's not only playing - you get to learn in a fun way. I really like the food as I'm not from this country so it's nice to try different food. I think the staff are very nice and kind - they are not strict, they are always funny.
