Clifton combines a large variety of great shops, restaurants and bars, with elegant homes and plentiful green spaces.

Situated in a lovely and historic building in Clifton (the historical part of Bristol) and with a body of 20 to 100 students all year round, the school has welcomed students from the world over since 1987. It is well located, close to numerous shops, restaurants and the university, and offers ideal facilities: TV, Internet, video, comfortable classrooms, a study room with a listening centre and even a kitchen… all available to students. Its friendly atmosphere and teachers who are very engaged in the daily life of the students distinguish the school. The school has a second course centre, some 5-8 minutes’ walk from the main building. During the low season, it is used for IELTS and Cambridge exams preparation courses.
