DLD College
DLD is a co-ed school for 14-19 year olds, specialising in GCSE, A Level and BTEC courses.

An independent and internationally minded student who enjoys learning in a mature, college-style environment. DLD suits pupils who benefit from smaller classes and a flexible curriculum, particularly those looking for a stepping stone between school and university.
Main sports
Basketball, football, running and fitness training.
Stand-out facilities
A striking modern campus overlooking the Thames near Westminster Bridge, with university-style study spaces, a film and TV studio, eSports suite and high-spec boarding accommodation within the same building.
Saturday school

Did you know?
Around two-thirds of students come from overseas, representing more than 60 nationalities, giving the college a distinctly international atmosphere rarely found in traditional British boarding schools.
Our takeaway
DLD feels closer to a small university college than a conventional school. Students are treated with a high degree of independence and the atmosphere is relaxed but purposeful. Its central London location and strong boarding provision make it particularly attractive to international families.
"We operate from a purpose-built campus in the heart of London overlooking the Palace of Westminster and the River Thames by the ultracool and dynamic South Bank."
