Language school Brighton
Brighton–St Giles

Our partner school St Giles is housed in three Regency style buildings located in the centre of Brighton, close to the famous oriental curves of William IV’s Royal Pavilion. The school’s facilities have recently been modernised, and include: an Internet café for surfing the Web and checking your emails free of charge, a new student centre with a library offering a large range of material in English as well as a TV/video room, two language labs to help you to develop your speaking and listening skills, and a modern computer room equipped with all the necessary software. That is, everything you need to immerse yourself in the language of Shakespeare and T.S. Eliot. Just near the school, you will find a new complex of museums, galleries and theatres, an indoor public swimming pool and an ultramodern public library. For going out, Brighton possesses all the necessary attractions between its two famous piers, and numerous restaurants, shops and nightclubs are in close proximity to the school. And for those wishing to prolong the party, London is only 50 minutes away by train.
