St Michael's College (the College of St Michael and All Angels) at Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire, England, was founded by Sir Frederick Ouseley in 1856 as a boys' preparatory school. Ouseley created the school to provide a model for the performance of Anglican church music. Choral services were performed daily in term time. The college possessed a library that contained rare books of international importance. Financial difficulties forced its closure in 1985.
The buildings were reopened as an independent international boarding school under the name of King's College Saint Michael's in 1990. It closed in June 2020 as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
