We have different departments for adults, teenagers and juniors. We are also an examinations centre and teacher-training centre. SIS is an independent language school with a small management team who have professional experience in academic administration and welfare. We work as a team for you as an individual.
We look after our students from the beginning (when they first contact us) all the way through their stay - in lessons and in free time. We give all our students an ID card with their homestay address and 24-hour school telephone number. We usually have students from about 30 different countries every year and we try to make sure that we really are an international school. We hope you will enjoy learning English in a lively and friendly atmosphere. Many of our students keep in touch with the school and with the people they meet here and return in following years.
We have a team of qualified and experienced teachers - all native speakers of English. You will have lessons with different teachers working together to make your course as interesting and useful as possible. We run a lot of different courses at all levels from beginner to advanced. If you would like any more help in choosing your course, please contact us.
