Academic
Our teachers don’t just teach, they’re enthusiasts too
They want you to share their enthusiasm and get involved. They want you to think, to discuss, to form your own opinions and also to study round the subject (not just for the exam).
We don’t pressure-cook you. The point is to prepare you for what happens next, as you move through Colfe’s and beyond. You will learn to live.
