About us

Anglo-Continental is one of the world's leading English language teaching organisations. Our school, founded in 1950, was one of the first to be recognised as efficient by the British Ministry of Education; and today our courses are regularly inspected and accredited by The British Council. Our schools and centres follow the strict codes of practice of The British Council and the professional association English UK. For more than 50 years our programmes have been enjoyed by successive generations of students of all ages and professions from all parts of the world.

Although Anglo-Continental is one of the largest schools in the UK, we are still a family run organisation and pride ourselves on our friendly personal service and efficient administration.

We offer a choice of courses for everyone - from young students to senior citizens, complete beginners to advanced examination candidates, school and university students to business executives and professionals. We even teach teachers of English!

Our Mission

• to teach English and no other language, allowing us to provide a wide choice of programmes to meet each individual need;
• to teach only in England where total immersion in the language makes learning easier, faster and more enjoyable;
• to provide the highest standards of tuition, administration and student care – in the classroom, in your accommodation, and in excursions, sports and leisure activities;
• to maintain our fees at levels strictly related to the quality of the teaching facilities and services we provide.
