Most recent student reviews of language schools in Brighton
The school is super central and can be reached from all locations, it is also relatively small, has about 8 teachers and is therefore very family-oriented. There is an extra emergency number, a break room that is used by all students (incl. table football and table tennis) and the secretaries take great care of the well-being and coping of the students. Afternoon activities are always voluntary and a lot of fun! Including jazz pubs, comedy nights, films, laser tag and much more.
I recommend it recommend!!! I was there for 4 weeks.
