Taunton School, Independent boarding school in Taunton, United Kingdom.
Taunton School is an independent boarding school in the town of Taunton, Somerset. The main grey stone building with its 50-foot tower sits on a campus larger than 90 acres.
The school was founded in 1847 as Independent College and admitted only boys. It began accepting girls alongside boys in 1976.
Students from dozens of countries share daily routines on campus, creating a multinational school community. Several qualification routes allow learners to choose the programme that matches their goals.
The school covers all ages from infancy to 18 and is divided into two sections. Younger children attend the preparatory division, while teenagers from age 13 move to the senior division.
The institution uses two Latin mottos that reflect different school stages: senior pupils follow 'Ora et labora', while younger ones embrace 'Carpe diem'.
