About Jersey
The Bailiwick of Jersey is a self-governing Crown Dependency, and this has implications for its education system. Schools here operate under Jersey Education Law, which differs from that of the UK.
Our schools follow the Jersey Curriculum, which is based on the English National Curriculum, but with adaptations that enable us to include the study of Jersey’s unique history, geography, and political system.
London is only 30 minutes away by air and France is a mere 14 miles to the east. Jersey is a unique place to live and work, particularly if you and your family enjoy an outdoor and community-focused lifestyle.

With a new 5 year Strategic Plan, receiving investment into a range of facilities, and with student numbers on the rise, this is undoubtedly an exciting phase in Victoria College's development.
