The College is situated in the residential area of a spacious and attractive Edwardian town. It is a few minutes walk from the station (85 minutes by train from London), there is a modern shopping centre and two excellent theatres, while the sea-front, Beachy Head and the Sussex Downs are also within easy reach. The environment offers peaceful respite from the pressures of city life whilst providing the opportunity to go to school in a thriving well-populated town.
Within an Eastbourne College education, high academic achievement is a priority. Access to up-to-date facilities and encouragement to be involved in a wide range of activities help to develop the characteristics which make up the modern Eastbournian. The positive, personal support of teachers and tutors, within a world where values and opportunities are constantly changing, combined with innovation and tradition distinguish our education. The community responds to the demands of the outside world, maintains manners, good standards of behaviour and a cheerful, united sense of purpose. The stable boarding environment enables students to grow at their own pace within an adult framework of care and understanding. Freedom allied to responsibility encourages senior pupils to take initiative, develop leadership and to promote the positive and friendly environment that visitors recognise.
The College has enjoyed considerable success in the academic, sporting, musical and dramatic spheres in the last few years and is committed to providing a thorough preparation for confident, well-rounded pupils to make the most from their lives beyond school.
