The Teaching and Learning Centre provides support for students with Additional Learning Needs. The extent of support available should be discussed with the admissions team during the application process.
EAL support is provided through the Teaching and Learning Centre. Given that the vast majority of students are non-native English speakers, the college has extensive experience in supporting language development alongside academic study.

Set in the 12th-century St Donat's Castle and its grounds on the south Wales coast, the college brings together around 350 students from over 90 countries for a two-year IB Diploma programme. More than 65% of students applying through national committees receive full or partial scholarships.

Alongside the IB, the college offers a Systems Transformation Pathway focused on building skills for social change. Students participate in CAS, Project Week, conferences, and the GoMakeADifference programme. The Teaching and Learning Centre provides EAL and additional learning needs support.
