Ardingly College, Independent boarding school in Ardingly, West Sussex, England.
Ardingly College occupies a 420-acre estate within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, featuring Gothic Revival architecture designed by Richard Carpenter and William Slater with its centerpiece chapel dedicated to St Saviour.
Founded in 1858 by Nathaniel Woodard as St Saviour's College in Shoreham, the institution relocated to its current Ardingly location in 1870 after acquiring the Saucelands estate and has maintained its educational mission for over 160 years.
The college transitioned from an all-boys institution to co-educational status in 1982, fostering diversity while maintaining traditional house systems that encourage community spirit, competition, and mentorship among students from various international backgrounds.
Academic terms follow the traditional Michaelmas, Lent, and Trinity structure from September to June, with admission typically occurring at the start of Michaelmas Half for students aged 13 to 18 years.
The college operates its own Freemason lodge called Ardingly College Lodge, founded in 1922, providing a social and charitable platform for Old Ardinians and community members rooted in Enlightenment principles.
