Welcome to the Sixth Form which represents the pinnacle of the Kent College experience. Here you will have the chance to explore your favourite subjects in greater depth and develop your intellectual curiosity.
As Sixth Formers you are also role models for the younger students and we ask you to help us to continue to build the exceptionally caring atmosphere at Kent College.
The next two years should be some of the most exciting and challenging of your life.
The Sixth Form will give you the opportunity to:
-
Make new friendships
-
Give you more freedom of choice
-
Enable you to engage your passions
-
Take on leadership roles
-
Try something new
-
Decide on your future
We believe that we give all students the opportunity to thrive and flourish in a learning environment specifically designed to meet their learning needs, with a range of academic choices including the IB Diploma, A Levels and Cambridge Technicals. The Sixth Form enables students to experience smaller tutorial style lessons and make use of timetabled independent study lessons, developing core skills to prepare them for their onward journey either into Higher Education or the workplace. Our diverse and international community is unique, allowing students of all backgrounds and faiths to be nurtured while being intellectually challenged in the classroom. We have a supportive family atmosphere at KC where teachers will always go the extra mile to help you with future decision-making and supporting your progress.
