“Boys are given so many opportunities to discover new interests, hone existing talents and enjoy being part of a close-knit community that lies at the heart of everything we do.

“They are encouraged by a body of staff who are passionate about nurturing intellect, ability and an enthusiasm to learn.”

The Spear’s Index, now in its sixth year, includes establishments from Thailand, Hong Kong, South Korea, Abu Dhabi, Luxembourg and the UK, and is drawn from a ‘wide range’ of education consultants and specialists in collaboration with Thuso group.
