Cognita Schools Partnership in UK
Each Cognita school is as individual as its students, but we all share one common purpose: to create an inspiring world of education. Stamford and other Cognita schools do this by sharing expertise, insights, and best practice across our global family – and by collaborating to develop rich learning environments in every school.
Stamford American School HK offers its students a world of choice. Working in partnership with hand-picked UK Cognita schools, Stamford provides our students with a smooth pathway to enrollment* and homestay experiences that meet our globally accredited safeguarding standards. We offer a seamless admissions process to our UK partnership schools by working hand in hand with our international admissions team to support you each step of the way, from application to enrolment.
