Margate
Margate is a lovely resort with golden, sandy beaches situated in Kent, on the south-east coast of England. It is a small and friendly town, an ideal place in which to both study and relax, with one of the driest and warmest climates in Britain. The beautiful countryside, famous for its apple and cherry orchards and picturesque villages, gives the region its name ‘The Garden of England’.
The historic cities of Canterbury and Dover are only 25 kilometres away from Margate. A weekend trip to France is also recommended.
The school
Our school is a friendly, family-run school situated in the heart of the town opposite a small park. The beach is within walking distance. All classrooms are bright and welcoming. The school offers a language lab, a small library, an internet café as well as a club area with TV and DVD.
All tutors are highly qualified. Our school is ideal for students who want to learn English and spend their holidays in a seaside resort.
