Rye St Antony School

The benefit of a diverse and inclusive school community for all involved should not be understated, and here at Rye St Antony, our international pupils thrive.

In a welcoming and inspiring school community, our international pupils benefit from a British boarding experience to remember where discovering who they are as individuals and academic success are held in equal regard.

Embracing the British boarding school experience is something that Stephanie did wholeheartedly at Rye. Arriving from Angola in September of Year 8 with little English, she was quick to grasp everyday instructions and practise with her friends. Sharing her skills in Portuguese with those passionate about Spanish and French ensured she had firm friends from the beginning, and Stephanie’s love of sport saw her fully involved.

Stephanie achieved four A* and A grades at A Level and went on to study Business at the University of Bath before returning to complete her PHD at the University of Oxford. Stephanie works in HR for an international company and is based in Paris, France. She credits her success and work ethic with the experiences that she had at Rye.

The foundations of a first-rate education coupled with a wealth of opportunities to be involved in the community. Whether as PM for the Young Enterprise project or as Head Girl, Stephanie’s future success shone through. We knew she would go far and Paris is just the first stop!
