St Bees School is an independent co-educational boarding and day school, not a university. Established in 1583 in Cumbria, England, it operates as a private institution. The school offers education for students aged 11–18, including GCSEs and A-Levels. While it follows the British curriculum, it is not publicly funded, relying on tuition fees and private resources.
As a private school, St Bees emphasizes smaller class sizes and personalized learning. It is registered as a charity, reinvesting profits into facilities and scholarships. The school’s status aligns with UK independent education standards, distinct from state-funded public schools or universities.
