Description

Mount Kelly is a private, independent school, which was built in 1877 to educate the sons of naval officers. It is located on the outskirts of the market town of Tavistock (population: 11,000), in Devon, in the south west of England, on the very edge of Dartmoor, one of the most famous National Parks in the UK. The main school is a stunning sight set in vast, beautiful grounds.


Mount Kelly gives us the opportunity to take up to 180 students from many different countries offering good quality accommodation, innovative lessons and an exciting and varied leisure programme. Expert management, returning staff and vast experience ensure that LAL Summer Schools maintain the highest operational standards possible.
