Our Sixth Form pupils see their academic life as being more than just a focus on their A-level grades. We encourage a deeper love of learning through independent study, reading and research.

Whether you enjoy academia, sport, art, music, dance, drama or have a combination of some or all of these interests, Brighton College is the place for you. We don’t believe in stereotypes and encourage everyone to participate and enjoy developing new skills and interests.

Brighton College is a home away from home for our full and weekly boarders, all of whom benefit from state-of-the art facilities, warm relationships with those in their House families, a rich programme of clubs and activities, and all that the College has to offer.
