2017 SCHOOL BROCHURE

From Brazil to Kazakhstan to South Korea, I’ve had the pleasure to engage so many students and educational professionals in the course of my career at The Language Gallery from all over the world. It is truly inspiring.

With schools in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Toronto plus our German language education school in Hannover, Germany, The Language Gallery has established itself as a diverse language educational leader. The current global need for second (and even third) language skills in careers has never been higher.

At The Language Gallery, we’re proud to offer courses that are specifically designed to give our students the English language skills that they need for success. Moreover, each of our school’s staff is committed to providing a unique student experience both inside and outside the classroom. Through dynamic classes and social programmes, The Language Gallery provides a comprehensive learning environment with fun activities for all students to partake in.

We’re looking forward to an exciting study period through 2016 into 2017, and we hope you’ll join us!

Sincerely,
