ASL vs. British Independent Schools

[anniesta]

Hello, I am sure this question was asked many times, but how does the rigor of education at the American School in London (ASL) compare to that at traditional British prep schools? Thank you.

Traditional prep schools are very varied. Some will be hot houses whilst others pretty relaxed. The obvious differences would be strict uniforms in British schools, some are single-sex, the curriculum is likely to be different (traditional schools teaching Classics for example). I'd also expect that the pupils will be a lot less transient in British schools.
