Our Leadership
Welcome from Our Principal
Dr. Iman Hami
Welcome to LSI Independent College. We aim to provide academic excellence for our students in a friendly, purposeful and supportive environment; although our approach is socially informal, hard work and the academic success that comes from this, is central to our ethos. We offer a unique personal approach, precisely tailored to students’ needs. Underpinning our commitment to academic success for our students is a dedication to pastoral care. We see the two as going hand in hand in shaping students and their futures. LSI is committed to creating independent students who will take responsibility for their own learning, equipping them not only with the tools that they need for sixth form success, but also with the skills and qualities they need for university and their future careers.
LSI has garnered a reputation for excellence over a broad range of areas, from international language centres to preparatory schools and now our sixth form college. During that time LSI has consistently delivered excellent educational courses with years of expertise in advising students about their university choices. This wealth of experience greatly benefits our A level students.
The wide range of quality A levels on offer at LSI Independent College, coupled with the supportive environment and excellent pastoral care, will ensure our new students will be successful in this crucial stage of their academic and personal development.
I look forward to welcoming you to our college and to the adventure which awaits you.
