The School has continued to pioneer aspirational, ambitious and high achieving women’s education for over 160 years and remains among the highest achieving schools in the UK. Exam results regularly top the UK league tables and the School has repeatedly outperformed other prestigious schools in terms of Oxbridge success rates.NLCS Jeju was the first NLCS international school to be founded in 2011. In 2017, NLCS Dubai opened, followed by NLCS (Singapore) in 2020. The latest member of the NLCS International family of schools, NLCS Kobe in Japan, opened its doors in August 2025.Unlike many UK independent schools, NLCS has a firm commitment to ensuring close links with its overseas branch schools. Every effort is made to replicate the ethos and standards of NLCS overseas. Wherever possible, staff for overseas schools are interviewed in London and by NLCS (UK) staff, as well as staff from our overseas schools. All teachers, once appointed, are invited to travel to London for induction and training at the UK school and this is generously funded by our partners. Once an overseas branch is open, it is regularly monitored and inspected by the UK school, and close links are formed through pupil and staff exchanges, joint departmental projects, educational visits and extracurricular activities, such as videoconference debates and jointly produced student publications.NLCS International is always looking for talented and ambitious education professionals to join the group in order to build their career with us and benefit from the many professional development and career-progression opportunities, which a group of world-class schools such as ours can offer. NLCS JEJU North London Collegiate School Jeju (NLCS Jeju) is a leading British International school providing an exceptional education experience for day and boarding students aged 4-18.  The first international school to be opened in the vibrant Global Education City on the spectacular South Korean Island of Jeju, NLCS Jeju has rapidly established itself as a centre of educational excellence in South East Asia.
