About St Clare's, Oxford

Ours is an education unlike any other in the UK. St Clare’s, Oxford is a remarkable place of global education for remarkable young people, advancing international education and understanding for 70 years.

As well as a world-leading International Baccalaureate World School, the oldest in England, we are specialists in the Sixth Form experience. We attract students from over 50 countries and embrace internationalism and academic excellence as our core values. Our teachers write the IB textbooks and teach the teachers of the future, and our results are consistently sector-leading and far above global averages. In the last 3 years, 90% of students have scored above the world average, and we regularly have students achieve the maximum IB score of 45, placing them in the top 1% globally.

Everyone in our community is united by one key motivation: to be challenged and step out of their comfort zones to grow, and to be the most globally aware and academically ambitious version of themselves. Walking around our university-style setting, you see individualism and character, engagement with the community, independence, responsibility, and happy, fulfilled young people readying themselves for the world. This is just one reason why independent analysts show that our students consistently make more academic progress here, than they would at most other IB schools in the UK.

To be at St Clare’s is to feel freedom and benefit of choice; any career, any location, any direction for your future made possible. Our University and Careers provision is among the best in the world, sending students to the top-ranking universities worldwide but, more importantly, to the right university for them. With 95% of our students going to their first choice, this is where aspiration and ambition meet knowledge and experience.

We believe that academic achievement matters and lays the foundations for prosperous futures, and that independence is the greatest skill a person - and a mind - can learn. St Clare’s is a place for those who think differently. We help young people become academically successful, self-reliant, and ready for the world.
