Moira House Girls' School
Overview
Moira
House is a day and boarding school for 400 girls (including our Nursery) and is
located in the attractive, safe south coast town of Eastbourne.
Moira House achieves excellent results at GCSE and A level through a
combination of small classes and experienced, enthusiastic teaching. Each year,
students proceed to many of the UK’s top universities.
A busy academic timetable is supplemented by a programme of activities which
offers something for everyone, especially in the fields of art, drama, music
and sport.
Most students are local, with about one quarter being boarders from all around
the world. Boarders up to Year 11 live in the main building and share a bedroom
with generally not more than 3 other girls.
Sixth Form students have the benefit of single or double study bedrooms in
their own boarding house, where the pattern of life is designed to prepare them
for independent study at university.
Moira House values its international students. Support lessons in English as a
Second Language form part of the programme for those who need them, without
additional cost. Extra fees are payable only if a student requests 1:1 lessons.
The International Summer School at Moira House offers high quality residential
courses to students from 8 to 18.
