Overview

The school was founded in 1862 and is 20 miles from London. The previous institution on the site was the East India College [EIC], the training establishment founded in 1806 for administrators of the Honourable East India Company. In 1862, the buildings re-opened for use as a public school, Haileybury College, which enjoyed a rich legacy from the EIC. Several of the houses were named after Old Boys of the EIC, and Haileybury's primary purpose during the second half of the 19th century was to serve the British Empire, principally in India. Now Haileybury serves as a co-educational school for 11-18 year-olds. Today at Haileybury there are thirteen boarding houses.

Unique Points

Following the successful foundation of Haileybury Almaty, a cognate school was opened in Astana, the capital city of Kazakhstan. Haileybury Astana provides education for boys and girls from the two to eleven years of age under the headship of Andrew Auster. The school follows the UK National Curriculum with the option of studying Russian and Kazakh, as well as the history and geography of Kazakhstan. Provision of boarding facilities is planned for 2014, and the school intends to expand to include pupils up to the age of sixteen. Model United Nations (MUN) is popular extra-curricular activity students in the senior school. Throughout the year, groups of students are chosen to form delegations which meet two times per week outside of school hours to practice writing and debating resolutions. These students then travel to several MUN conferences in the UK and mainland Europe to debate their resolutions.

Entry Requirements

For entry in to the Removes (Year 9) completed Registrations should be received at least two years before entry. Late applications are welcome, but the choice of House may be limited.
