University Admissions | International School of Siena

Securing Admission to a Leading University

At Inspired schools, students graduate with outstanding results before attending world-leading universities and colleges. Competition for places at top institutions is ever-growing; however, at our school in Siena, we prepare students for success beyond graduation. One in three Inspired students is admitted to a Russell Group and Ivy League school, and 90% of Inspired graduates gain entry to their first-choice university.

Inspired schools aim to give students the greatest chances of gaining the admission of their dreams by offering the help of on-site university counsellors, who possess a wealth of knowledge of the admissions processes at the best institutions across the globe. Counsellors who guide, inform and support students as they find the ideal course that will pave the way for a successful future.
