School

Established in an elegant Georgian building in the centre of Edinburgh, our partner school, Kaplan International Colleges, is located only a stone's throw away from the fashionable shops of Princes Street and from the imposing stronghold of the castle. Containing 10 spacious and bright classrooms and a multimedia room with several computers and an Internet connection, this school offers an optimal environment for studying English. You will be able to make use out of the library/computer room and a large student lounge (with vending machines for snacks and drinks and a microwave) to meet up with other students. If you want to relax after your English classes, go out onto the school's patio or take advantage of the numerous parks nearby, such as the Princes Street Gardens, from where you can admire the uninterrupted view of the castle and the Old Town, Charlotte Square Gardens or even Calton Hill. Also take the time to walk around in the Old Town, on the Royal Mile, from one end to the other, and don't forget the visit to Edinburgh Castle or the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the residence of Queen Elizabeth II in Edinburgh, and its impressive park.
