Southbank International School's Kensington campus provides the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme for children aged two to eleven. Located in the Notting Hill district of West London, the school utilizes its proximity to major cultural sites through its "London as a Classroom" initiative. This program integrates visits to nearby museums, galleries, and parks directly into the curriculum, allowing students to learn from the city’s resources. With a student body representing nearly 40 different nationalities, the campus maintains small class sizes typically ranging from 12 to 18 pupils. The school focuses on inquiry-led learning, where students are encouraged to ask questions and explore subjects across various disciplines. Facilities include dedicated spaces for music and art, along with a "living moss wall" designed to incorporate nature into the indoor learning environment. Spanish and French are introduced as additional languages, fostering early multilingual development within a multi-national community.
