Our funders are central to creating extraordinary learning experiences for our students. We are extremely grateful to all those who have supported the expansion of the educational experiences we offer to young people.
Halcyon, like so many educational institutions before it, was founded by philanthropists. These people cared about ensuring that the best education was made available at Halcyon, underpinned by a set of abiding principles: innovation, collaboration, and community. Since its foundation in 2013, the School has created a vibrant and diverse community, where people from different backgrounds can build their self-confidence and have their ideas valued in an atmosphere of respect, inquiry, and tolerance.
Integral to the International Baccalaureate (IB), we have created an environment where communication and collaboration is encouraged.
It is fundamental to our mission that we take every step to support our students in developing interpersonal competencies; learning to navigate dynamic, multicultural environments and obtaining skills which they can take with them into their future personal and professional lives.
Since the beginning of Halcyon’s journey in 2013, we have now started to establish ourselves and build our reputation as one of the international school destinations in London – but our ambitions do not stop there. We want to expand and enhance our offering, whilst continuing to deliver a high-quality educational experience for all our students.
For supporters who are happy to contribute to our mission by providing unrestricted funding for key projects that improve, enhance, and enable the ongoing Halcyon experience, this Fund goes towards projects under the themes of sport, exploration, and digital – all of which benefit current and future students during each financial year. It also goes towards building reserves for future projects and ambitions.
Grace, a former bursary student, graduated in 2018, and is now at California Baptist University in the USA studying Political Science and Business.
“Attending Halcyon allowed me to grow academically and helped me develop a unique perspective of the world and walk into my first year of university with confidence.
Halcyon was an incredible blessing, and it would not have been possible for me without the generosity of the bursary programme.”
Halcyon aims to nurture a socially, culturally, and economically diverse community that reflects the global world in which we live. We also believe that all young people should have the opportunity to benefit from a pioneering education that will shape their future. Our bursary programme provides access to our ‘life-readying’ education for any eligible student regardless of personal circumstances.
Since 2015, and in large part thanks to the support of our community, our bursary programme has been available to any new, eligible applicant in Grades 6-12, providing up to 100% financial support and defined by external means-testing. Halcyon demonstrates its commitment to this Bursary Programme by making its own annual contribution that increases as the School’s population grows.
Although this programme – and our school – is less than a decade old, our bursary students have already shared that this opportunity has had a transformative impact on their lives, enabling them to thrive as part of our community whilst at Halcyon, and then go on to do extraordinary things.
