And in Sixth Form, we teach Classical Greek, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Mandarin, Russian, and Spanish.

Many of our graduates continue their education at the UK’s best universities, including University College London, Oxford, and the London School of Economics. With the expert guidance of our Higher Education and Careers Team, students with specialist talents – including in the performing and fine arts – discover their own pathways to excellence, too.

LEARNING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

Our students are always learning. Outside of lessons, your child will embrace their passions on life-changing trips, through a myriad of co-curricular activities, and by immersing themselves in our exclusive global collaborations.

Sports

Sport is for everyone at d’Overbroeck’s. Alongside traditional activities like football, basketball, cricket, and tennis, we also offer something a bit different, including yoga and ice-hockey. This gives everyone the chance to get active, showcase their skills, and boost their physical and mental health.

The arts

Aspiring artists thrive in our ultra-modern Arts Centre, which is home to university-standard spaces and facilities. From fine art to photography, sculpting to textiles, our young creatives have the freedom, time, and inspiration they need to express their artistic flair.

Trips and expeditions

Immersive day and overnight experiences bring learning to life in thrilling ways. Whether it’s summiting Mount Kilimanjaro, embarking on an adrenaline-fuelled adventure in Switzerland, or monitoring the financial markets on Wall Street, New York, our trips build confidence and instil a lifelong love of new discoveries.

Nord Anglia collaborations

Exclusive collaborations with The Juilliard School and MIT make our school a truly unique place to learn. While MIT’s inventors teach our students how to use ‘design thinking’ to solve STEAM problems and challenges, Juilliard’s artists show them original ways to express their creativity through music, drama, and dance.

Student leadership

Demonstrating confidence, determination, and ingenuity, our students take the lead and implement tangible change. From proactively supporting local charities to debating pressing global issues, our gifted young leaders work together to solve problems and make life better for their peers, our community, and people across the world.

PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

Our parents are an integral part of our community. You’ll connect with fellow d’Overbroeck’s families through our parent portal, which is a safe space to find the information you need and create lasting friendships. Our open-door policy gives you easy access to your child’s teachers and our leadership team, too. We’ll also invite you in for regular concerts, theatrical performances, and exhibitions
