Beautiful and tranquil boarding campus
Wycombe Abbey was founded in 1896 in Buckinghamshire, England, and was formerly an English manor called Loakes House.
The first Baron Carrington purchased it in 1798, and he later hired architect James Wyatt to transform it into its current Gothic church form.
The school building with turrets and battlements makes it feel romantic to be in the middle of it. The campus also has its own lake and woodland, and the scenery is tranquil and beautiful.
Whether it's Wycombe Abbey in the UK, or Wycombe Abbey School, both sidesRespect, see and promote the innate potential of every childThe educational philosophy is in the same vein. We all firmly believe that"Every child is exceptional". We should not treat children as "landscape potted plants", pruning them and pruning them to the image we expect according to our artificial standards;Instead, we should treat our children as wildflowers and weeds with their own DNA, and all we need to do is give them sun, rain and soil, plus patience and trust.
Guided by such a holistic educational philosophy, Wycombe Abbey is extremely rich in opennessScience, Arts, Sports, Drama, Outdoor Developmentand other areas of interest for children to choose fromAnd in the 24/7 boarding life, this holistic education experience is extended to all day and all hours.
The school has first-class campus facilities such as sports venues, theaters, laboratories, art rooms, etc., and provides warm, safe and secure boarding facilities for children. We believe that every student who settles in the Wycombe Abbey campus can enjoy a fulfilling and enjoyable learning and Xi experience, and the same is true for the children who choose to enroll in the Wycombe Abbey Summer School.
