Since 1976, Sidmouth International School has been welcoming international students and nurturing lifelong friendships -including one that even led to marriage!

In 2026, we embarked on an exciting new chapter by joining the Hello! family.

Based in the heart of Sidmouth, our school is located in a charming seaside town in Devon with a population of about 10,000 people. Just a 10-minute walk from the seafront, our students are perfectly positioned to study and relax in a welcoming town.

Sidmouth offers a warm community where students of all ages can gain independence, immerse themselves in a traditional British town, and explore the delights of seaside life.

Accredited by the British Council and ranked in the top 20% of UK language centres in the EL Gazette UK Language Centre Rankings 2024–25, we offer year-round courses for students aged 13 and above, including Young Learner courses for ages 8–13 during Easter and Summer.

We are centrally located in Sidmouth, within walking distance of the beach, parks, shops, and local amenities. Sidmouth is well-placed for visiting places such as Exeter, Dartmoor, Lyme Regis, Bristol, Bath and Plymouth. London is easily accessible, taking just over two hours by train from Exeter.
