Selection Criteria

Dartford Excelsior Academy is an academically selective school. However, we are interested in a lot more about potential students besides their academic level – we are interested in welcoming young people who are enthusiastic about their education and want to have an immersive and dynamic educational experience. We are looking for young people that would like to contribute their talents and energy to the life of the school, connecting with other students and their tutors to shape their educational journeys.

We are also looking for families who have a deep commitment to internationalism. Though our curriculum is firmly steeped in the British tradition, we are enhancing that tradition by taking a more global and expansive approach to our subject teaching. We are therefore looking for families that want their young people, through their education, to develop a deep understanding and care for peoples and environments beyond their own personal experience.

Registration opens

Registration opens on 4 January 2021 for entry in September 2021.
