About the Fyling Hall School

Founded in 1923, Fyling Hall School is one of the oldest and most respected independent co-educational boarding schools in the north of England. The school is located in the picturesque countryside of North Yorkshire on a 40-acre site, on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, just two miles from the coast. This unique location provides exceptional opportunities for outdoor learning and nature exploration. The school prides itself on its warm, family atmosphere and individual approach to each student. The educational philosophy of Fyling Hall School is based on the principles of holistic personal development, where academic achievements go hand in hand with creative, physical, and moral education. The school is known for its strong "Outdoor Education" program, which uses the proximity to the national park and the sea to develop confidence, resilience, and leadership qualities. A unique feature is the small size of the school, creating a supportive environment where every student is known to the staff. The focus is on unlocking individual potential rather than rigid academic competition. The main goals of Fyling Hall School include preparing students for successful entry into universities and adult life, nurturing a love for lifelong learning, and developing responsible, well-rounded young people. The school makes a significant contribution to the educational community by providing high-quality British education in a unique natural environment, attracting both local and international students.

Fyling Hall entered september 2021. We were transferred from an Irish school, as the school there was with a strong religious bias, and this did not suit us. We were looking for something in a similar price category. We turned to the company SMAPSE for the selection of options. We recommended Fyling Hall, organized a meeting with the director on Zoom. After the conversation, we decided to enroll. The agency helped with the submission of documents and visa processing for the child. The work of the agent was satisfied, the school is also doing well.

Hello! I want to thank Xenia for helping me enroll my daughter Diana, who initially thought of a British school in Spain, Malta or Cyprus. Ksenia dissuaded us, insisted on the UK. Schools in London were too expensive and did not fit into my budget for teaching my daughter, Ksenia proposed the option of Fyling Hall School with a boarding school. After going through all the stages of the exams in Cheers, my daughter was expected to go to school grade 11 in September. Summer flew by quickly and on September 2 we are on our way to the UK. Excitement, tears, and here again the help of our Ksenia arrived in time. She talked with the girl, encouraged, gave instructions !, shared her experience. We got to school. A delightful place, like in a fairy tale. Green fields, hills, lawns, narrow cobbled streets near the sea and here we are in the guesthouse. Huge beautiful territory, several buildings in the English style, friendly staff. There were tears, but by the evening of the first day they were over. New acquaintances, new impressions. My daughter is very happy! Yes, learning is not easy, but believe me, it's worth it. Ksenia, many human thanks from our entire family for insisting on the UK and advising us on this particular school. If someone needs the advice of an experienced president, I will be glad to help. Ksenia, good luck, prosperity and all the best. Sincerely, Olga
