About the School
English Language Centre-Eastbourne (formerly Eastbourne School of English) was founded in 1936 and is one of the finest schools, with a long tradition and non-profit status. Its strengths are a substantial curriculum, intensive classes, and a highly skilled teaching staff. For this reason it is consistently rated among the top schools in the UK, and it is well suited to students who want to improve their English quickly in the UK. Every lesson lasts 60 minutes, and social programs are run well on weekends and in the afternoons. The school's General Long-term Course offers generous tuition discounts, so if you make good use of it, you can keep both tuition and homestay costs low. The Business course is another of the school's excellent programs. A very high proportion of former students who studied here recommend the school again.
