School Information

Stowe is a co-educational independent boarding and day school, welcoming girls and boys aged 13 to 18. Housed in a ducal palace, surrounded by 750 acres of landscaped gardens, Stowe provides a unique educational environment in which youth is celebrated rather than stifled, where creativity is prized and academic rigour encouraged. We firmly believe an education at Stowe is a preparation for life.
