School Details - London Highgate St Giles

---

The school offers a beautiful setting for both learners and future teachers of English: a spacious Victorian building with a lovely big garden, located in a quiet historic part of North London. In the summer the garden is used for parties and barbecues, where students can relax and chat with their friends and the managing director Keith Harding will show his managing skills on the barbecue - the perfect antidote to a stressful teacher training course.

On warm days, you may see classes taking place out in the sunshine. There are woods and parks nearby. This popular area of London offers shops and boutiques, restaruants, bars and pubs. Despite this tranquil setting, central London is just 20 minutes away by underground. Ideal for students who don't want the hustle and bustle of the big city but still want to be near the centre of London. The school will provide a professional and caring atmosphere in which to develop your skills.

Facilities include:
- 24 fully equipped classrooms
- The latest ELT resources and materials
- An elegant library for private study containing reference and lending sections
- A modern language laboratory for listening and speaking practice
- A computer and video room with the latest English language materials and a wide range of films
