Kaplan, London, UK

After over 80 years of experience in the field, Kaplan International now runs language schools in ten countries that serve 40,000 students each year from 150 different countries. Due to this elite resume, the name "Kaplan" has become synonymous with academic excellence. At each Kaplan school, experienced teachers guide students through classroom activities as well as cultural excursions in order to make learning come alive as students strive to reach their language goals. Through projects that emphasize real world application, students are able to push past learning plateaus, become advanced speakers after only 50 weeks of intensive classes, and take on any of the main English proficiency exams. Kaplan International is so secure in their methods that four weeks of free tuition is guaranteed to any student in an intensive course who attends 95% of their classes and does not progress a full level every ten weeks, a very exciting and encouraging promise! Kaplan International has two campuses in London, England. One campus is located on the famous cobbled streets of Covent Garden, next to the British Museum, Kings College, and the University of London. This spot is perfect for students who enjoy socializing with university students and intellectuals. Both London campuses offer long-term classes in general or intensive English, a less intense program for students who need a flexible class schedule, preparation courses for the IELTS exam, or a concentration in business English. Students at either campus are able to stay in a student residence or with a local family in a home stay. London has easy, efficient public transportation which makes exploring the city feasible, and Kaplan teachers and staff organize excursions to famous sites such as Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, and the Tower of London in order to assist students in that exploration and in language and cultural acquisition.
