Choosing the right 
college

British colleges provide education at a wide range of academic levels including and A levels (the traditional route to university entry) and international foundation courses as well as vocational qualifications and the International Baccalaureate (IB).  
Because they are usually bigger. Sixth form colleges can often offer you more study options than a school meaning that a wider range of qualifications are on offer to you. 
In addition to this, the colleges usually have better facilities e.g. media suites, photography studios, performing arts theatre etc. and a wider range of enrichment activities to enhance your learning.  

Colleges primarily cater for students aged 16 and over, meaning that you are treated as  a young adult who wants to learn and end enjoy a more informal relationship with their teachers than in traditional schools. This promotes a dynamic and vibrant learning environment where you can excel. 

British education is high quality, globally  recognised and offers transferable qualifications that are accepted by all UK and many top  overseas universities.
There is of course an extended support network in place and  you will have a contact person whom you can go to for assistance as well as an international officer who is responsible for your welfare at the college.
