Independent Boarding And Day School For Boys And Girls Aged 4-18

WELCOME

Mount Kelly is an independent school located in Tavistock, Devon, UK. We are a co-educational school for children aged between 4 and 18 offering day, weekly, flexi and full boarding.

The Mount Kelly education stands apart in the values and attitudes of its young men and women. Compassion, tolerance, kindness, integrity, generosity of spirit and a commitment to service underpin a determined dedication to academic excellence.

Mount Kelleians are nurtured by a sensitive rigour in which they are expected to take the risk of being more than what they may think they are, to pick themselves up, and others too, when things do not go their way and in so doing to learn the true nature, joy and responsibility of success.
