Extracurricular options 

Stonar has been very supportive throughout my years studying in the United Kingdom. As a boarding school, it made sure that international students like me, who travelled to study in a new country, felt very welcomed and supported both mentally and physically. I have never felt homesick during the two years living at Stonar. Our Houseparents made sure it felt like home. The community is very diverse and opens up various opportunities for each of us to get to know each other personally and culturally. Lessons wise, our teachers are excellent at understanding what the international community might find difficult in lessons. Stonar, by providing EAL lessons customised to different students, helps pupils to learn English suitable for their age or level. Being a Sixth former, our Head of Sixth Form and all our Tutors were very supportive throughout the planning for universities around the world. Stonar also communicates very well with our parents who are overseas and make sure they know about our learning progress, activities and boarding lives.
