About the School

Located in Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland, our school provides high-quality lessons to international students in a friendly and comfortable environment. Every year, the school helps hundreds of international students improve their English. When students arrive at the school, the first people they meet are the school's president or principal. They then take a short placement test. The test assesses each student's current English level, and based on the results, students are placed in one of six levels of classes. Regardless of English level, students have at least 22.5 hours of lessons every week. Classes run from Monday to Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (with one 20-minute break), and in the afternoons there are workshops and social activities. An example timetable can be found in the Student Information section. Because our international English school is closely connected with more than 15 colleges and universities throughout the UK, we can offer students a comprehensive study plan ranging from beginner English classes to degree-level courses. We also help students choose the most suitable course and apply for admission when they are ready to move on to higher education.
