Round Square Schools
Round Square is an internationally diverse network of 245 like-minded schools in 50 countries on six continents that connect and collaborate to offer world-class programmes and experiences, developing global competence, character and confidence in our students.
Through the Round Square Community, schools bring their students face-to-face with their peers from across the world to exchange ideas, learn about each other’s countries and cultures, and to discuss and debate some of the most difficult, and sensitive, issues facing our world today.
Whether in-person, at Round Square Conferences, via Student Exchange, or on RS Service Projects, or online, through Classroom Collaborations, Zoom Postcards or Language Labs, the aim is always to build students’ International Understanding.
MeySen Academy
MeySen is a large kindergarten with associated English classes for students aged between 3 and 17. The school is split between two beautiful campuses in the city of Sendai, on the east coast of northern Japan.
LVS Ascot’s connection with MeySen Academy goes back to 2002 with the start of the “MeySen Europe Study Tour”. 17-year-olds in their last year at MeySen have the opportunity to spend 10 days in one of our Boarding houses and attend classes for five days. After leaving the UK, they spend a day in Paris, a week in Germany, then head back home full of precious memories.
Beijing Shi Da School
Beijing Shi Da High School (北京市师达中学) in China has a very strong academic record. We are delighted to have a unique collaboration agreement with the school, offering opportunities for students and staff in annual cultural visits to the United Kingdom – including days on the LVS Ascot campus as well as trips to Oxford, Cambridge and London – in order that their students can sample a British boarding environment.
