Deciding upon which college to choose for pre-university education is not an easy matter. We believe that the "Brooke House formula" is well tried and tested, and guarantees success, both in terms of students securing a bright academic future, and in terms of allowing students to mature into independent, rounded and motivated young adults ready for a university environment. We strive at Brooke House to help students secure their optimum placement in higher education, taking into account: their innate ability; their level of competency in the English language; their ambitions and the time and level of finance available to them.

We believe in…..

  • Quality specialised tuition in small classes
  • High levels of individual attention
  • High staff to student ratios
  • Personal timetables giving flexibility
  • Welfare and career counselling with advice on university entry and application through a system of Personal Tutors
  • Regular examination practice and testing throughout the course of study and regular sessions on examination technique and revision skills
  • English language and study skills support programmes through our "Mission English" project
  • Close communications with parents and guardians
  • Safe and comfortable accommodation in a choice of campus, host family or independent student house accommodation
  • A balanced and comprehensive programme of extra-curricular activities


Our staff

Our staff is comprised of highly-qualified and experienced professionals, many of whom are or have been school inspectors or national examiners. Our staff is made up of full and part-time members, and residential duties are performed by staff from the teaching body. Students therefore have close access to their tutors at all times. It is not uncommon for students at reunion and alumni events to describe teaching at Brooke House as the best they have ever experienced.

On account of our long-established reputation the college is a member of several accredited bodies:

The Director Of Studies is a member of the Conference for Independent Further Education which was founded to promote the highest standards of education within member colleges

The College is recognised as efficient by the British Accreditation Council and has satisfied the Council in respect of its premises, its general organisation, the control and supervision of students and staff, the quality of teaching and supporting services, the welfare of its students, and its legal and financial stability.
