What we like about the school
  • Accredited student visa sponsor: Beneficial for course durations > 6 months.
What we dislike about the school
  • Older students should consider that the average age of students at the school is significantly younger than at most other schools.

Located in the heart of Scotland's capital, our brand-new Edinburgh English School offers the best of this world-renowned city. Famous for its historic landmarks, old town charm, and cultural diversity, Edinburgh offers a unique blend of historic beauty with a modern cultural touch, making it a fantastic location for all students.
