Welcome !
Since it was founded over 50 years ago, the Centre
has been dedicated to providing high quality English
programmes to thousands of students across the world.
Colchester English Study Centre is perfect for students who want to study in a thriving town not to far from London, major airports and the
coast, but who also choose to benefit from a more relaxed and secure environment.
The centre is housed in three Georgian buildings in a peaceful and desirable area of Colchester, close to the town centre and local amenities.
Our teaching staff are qualified native English speakers with considerable experience of teaching English to students of all levels and many
nationalities in the UK.
We are very proud of our reputation for offering excellent student welfare , our welcoming and friendly study environment and our proven
rack-record of language learning success.
I have had the greatest experience ever in this beautiful
town and beautiful school.
