Scarborough College is an independent day and boarding school for boys and girls aged 3-18 years^[1] in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England. It was founded in 1898. The school has been an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School since June 2006. It offers the IB Diploma Programme in place of A-levels.

Pre-School and Junior School

Scarborough College's Pre-School and Junior School (previously known as Lisvane School) was moved on to the College main campus on Filey Road in 2002. It is housed in a modern, purpose-built building, separate from the College's historic main building. The Pre-School is led by Jackie Hunter and the Junior School is led by Dan Davey. It was announced in 2012, that the school was to merge with local prep-school Bramcote. The pupils will now study at the Scarborough College site, whilst Bramcote will be retained for its excellent sporting facilities. The school will be renamed 'Bramcote Junior School', in honour of Bramcote's long-established history.

Senior School and Sixth Form

The Senior School is housed in the College's main building. The campus also consists of a separate Science and ICT block, and a sports hall/theatre. Students study a mix of GCSE and IGCSE in Years 10 and 11. Classes are taught in well equipped classrooms and there is a wide range of sport, ICT and Music facilities.

The Head of Sixth Form is Heather Ramsay. At Scarborough College, there is a Study Centre, private ICT facilities, a separate dining room and a Common Room.
