Kaplan, Cambridge, 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 Cambridge is housed in a large Edwardian house with its own gardens, perfect for studying or socializing in the fresh air. It offers a wide range of English courses, from General English to intensive courses, Business English, and ILETS preparation courses. While studying at the campus, students will have the benefit of being surrounded by some of the world's best colleges and socializing with some of the brightest young minds in the country at 800-year-old Cambridge University. Students might enjoy an evening listening to the famous choir at the King's College Chapel or an afternoon taking in the art and antiquities at the Fitzwilliam Museum, both within walking distance of Kaplan and free of charge. Past Cambridge University with its historic colleges and botanical gardens is the River Cam where students can walk across the picturesque Bridge of Sighs or the unique Mathematical Bridge, both of which attest to the longstanding academic history and culture of the city. Whatever extracurricular activities students choose, the staff at Kaplan is able to guide and assist them in their efforts and parlay activities into learning opportunities.
