The Ladies' College, Guernsey

The Ladies' College, Guernsey, is an independent school established in 1872 educating girls for almost 150 years, with a strong academic reputation. We aim to be the best we can be and look to encourage, create and inspire. We operate on a single site and pupils from our Pre Preparatory Department and The Ladies' College, Melrose (our Preparatory School) are housed in separate buildings on the same campus as our Senior girls and the Sixth Form. In the 21st Century, life is full of opportunity and challenges. Our aim at The Ladies' College is to give each girl the confidence to develop, so they become young adults who are proactive, positive, caring and resilient. Academic achievement is important and we are proud of the results achieved by our students, yet there is also clear recognition that opportunities outside of the classroom are a vital part of a rounded education. They can help to develop self-esteem and a range of interests and opportunities to achieve and contribute to an individual's well-being which is also an important part of today's education for young people.
