From 1990 to 2020 the buildings were occupied by a school known as King’s Saint Michael’s College which was an international boarding school with students from many different countries. It closed in 2020. That school specialised in providing education to international students by providing an intensive English language course alongside the traditional curriculum of GCSEs and A Levels. The school also ran a University Foundation Course. During the months of July and August, Saint Michael's ran an English language summer school for students from around the world.
