The school operates a thriving Akademeia Parent Association (APA), which plays an important role in supporting and representing our parent community. Parents organise a variety of social and charity events throughout the year and help new families with the transition to our school.
A-Levels allow our students to specialise and go into much greater detail in their chosen subjects, which gives them a better idea about what to study at university and mirrors the specialized focus of university degrees much more. A Levels are also the primary qualification universities in the UK receive for consideration and are internationally respected for students applying to other universities in Europe and in the United States.
The Short Courses are exclusively designed for students not currently studying at Akademeia High School and represent the ideal opportunity for students to extend their educational horizons.

This focused approach enables deeper subject knowledge and can provide a strong advantage in university applications, particularly for competitive courses.
Teaching & Support
The maximum class size is 12. Since we offer 25 different subjects at A Level, Years 12 and 13 classes often contain far fewer students. Small group sizes and personalised support for each student are a key principle of Akademeia. The faculty to student ratio at Akademeia is 1:4.
Our faculty is proudly diverse and contains a mixture of Polish and international teachers, with the highest proportion of our international teachers being British. Our international teachers come from a diverse range of nationalities but are typically grounded in Poland and have mostly been here for a significant period of time. Around a third of our teachers are PHD holders.
Akademeia is an inclusive environment; our Wellbeing and Learning Support Teams are extensive and play a key role in supporting our students with SEN requirements.
Student Life
In line with our approach of being a pre-university university, students are given autonomy over how they dress. However, we are a place of learning and students are expected to dress and behave accordingly.
In addition to our Personal Development Scheme, the school offers students an enviable range of 50+ after-school clubs. You can find more information here.
