Truro School (private school Truro School) has a rich history (founded in 1880) and an excellent reputation, which allows it to provide full-cycle educational services of the highest quality: there are about thousand boys and girls from 3 to 18 years old. The guesthouse deservedly is considered one of the best in the UK: all without exception guests, students and graduates celebrate a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, an excellent teaching staff, a comfortable and beautiful campus, extensive opportunities for self-development and education. How else can there be in school, the motto of which is "To be, not to appear"?

The structure of Truro School includes three units - each with its own building, territory, educational facilities and infrastructure:

• Prep School (primary school, 3-11)
• Senior School (middle class, 11-16)
• Sixth Form (senior, graduating classes, 16-18).

About 40% of students are foreigners, which forms an international, intercultural atmosphere and opportunities for additional education. Foreigners are provided with an adaptation program and an additional supporting English course (EAL), which they can attend throughout the entire study cycle.

The school is famous for the academic successes of its students, not least thanks to the individual, personal approach: classes include no more than 24 people, and thematic and creative groups and up to 15 students. Data on academic performance for 2013 are more than eloquent:

• GCSE: 99% of students earned passing grades A * -C in 5 subjects or more, and 30% achieved the highest score A * -A (passing 10 or more disciplines!)
• A-level: 28% of graduates received high scores (А *, А, В), and in the certificate at 77% there is at least one mark А
• All applicants for seats in Cambridge and Oxford (6 people) were successfully enrolled.

The school is regularly checked by independent and respected supervisory bodies - for example, the commission of the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) in 2015 noted the following successes:

• "Excellent": the level of students upbringing, the quality of childcare
• "Good": academic successes of students, work with parents, quality and organization of the curriculum, learning conditions, childcare and safety, organization of out-of-class education, quality of school management, living conditions and quality of teaching.

Officially the school belongs to the Methodist church, but students of any confession and religion can study here.

Fyling Hall School Principal

Why do parents highly value UK primary and secondary schools?

It’s the combination of our longstanding traditions and core values that parents find appealing. British boarding schools, in particular, are known for fostering a well-rounded set of skills and interests in students. We believe that education should extend beyond textbooks and academic programs to encompass life lessons. Our commitment to traditional values like manners, honesty, and mutual respect is key. As one of our founding students aptly stated, the education that teaches us to live and respect one another is what truly matters.

At Truro School there are several options for the boardinghouse: partial, weekly and full. For students 4 spacious, comfortable residences are organized (2 men and 2 women, with accommodation taking into account the age principle) with cozy double rooms, sitting rooms and kitchens. In each house there lives a caretaker who, with his team, provides care and care for students, helps with solving any problems.

For boarders on weekends, some fun and exciting activities are arranged: searching for Indiana Jones-style treasures, quad biking, team games and sports days, riding lessons, parties, joint screenings.

Board meals in the common dining room are varied, tasty and nutritious, with lots of fresh fruit (a vegetarian diet is available).
