St Giles International was founded in 1955 by Paul Lindsay and his wife Diana. Paul trained to be a teacher and started his career teaching English and French to native English speakers at a north London polytechnic. Wanting to earn some more money for his upcoming marriage, he took a summer job at an English language school on Oxford Street.
For many years St Giles International has donated generously to charities and has been committed to getting staff and students involved in raising funds and awareness for worthy causes. In 2012 St Giles decided to incorporate these efforts into a much wider programme of social responsibility.

Sustainability Education: We include sustainability topics in our curriculum as well as raising awareness of environmental and social issues among our student population.Creating a sustainable society: We lead by example, showing people how to be tolerant and accepting of different cultures. We also encourage all of our stakeholders to consider sustainability in all areas of their lives.

I attended the language courses for 6 weeks and my mom also attended the beginner English courses at St. Giles.
I would like to share some of our experience for anyone needed as a reference.
My level is B2 and joined IELTS courses, the pace is very intense and focus on the exam, so that it’s really boring honestly speaking. But they use relatively new material to teach and teacher is qualified.
My mom is a totally new language learner and the class she had joined in was definitely not a true beginner class as they had described or had promised. With the fast-paced teaching and no effective

I had a great time here in London about a decade ago. I got a lot of experiences and friends. Also, teachers are very kind and friendly.
I wonder how they are doing.
Through the time here, I became a teacher in my country.

I'm from Cuba. Studying here is amazing. The Teacher Training Center leading by Mike Williams is one of the best locations they have here for enhancing professional development.

I had a good time at St. Giles English School. The teachers are very friendly and I met a lot of people from over the whole world. The school nice located and you have different shops and pubs around the school. After school, they have a interesting social program. The classrooms were a bit small but okay.

I had the chance to be educated in several language schools while I was at UK. Certainly St.Giles was the best among all of them I took CAE and Advanced general English in St Giles and it was pleasantly good. Teachers were masters of their trade,
Students in Advanced class were almost proficient. If I were to come back and study English ,which is unlikely for now, my choice would be definitely St.Giles again.

I am very glad that that I was a St Giles English college student in Brighon more than a decade ago. It was a wonderful experience. Eirst and foremost, Brighton is a superb sea-side resort but much more so than that. It was a literary place, place of novelists and their novels. To mention just an example or two, Graham Green wrote his his… Brighton Rock eternizing the famous Brighton Rock, many scenes from classics were set in this fashionable resort. But I had a wonderful time in Brighton. I have become much more confident with my English and have used it with gusto since this period .
