GEOS English Academy is part of an international network of schools spread across Europe, North America, Oceania and Asia. The school was first established in 1972 and became a GEOS school in 1989. It is accredited by the British Council and we are members of ARELS.

We are a medium sized school made up of 4 Victorian houses, having between 60 and 145 students from around 20 different countries, depending on the time of year.

Our facilities include: see Virtual GEOS Map

16 classrooms, including individual tuition rooms a study centre with computers, self-study materials and a small library a modern language laboratory that is used both with your teacher and for self-study after school a colourful student lounge with drinks machines, televisions, daily newspapers for you to read and a coin operated telephone an attractive garden terrace with tables, chairs and a barbecue for the summer a small kitchen with fridge, microwave and kettle that can be used by students for making hot drinks and meals

We have a permanent staff of around 20 people, including teachers and administrative staff. The teachers are all qualified and very experienced, and many of our staff speak other languages. 
The Accommodation and Welfare Officer is on hand to deal with any host family or personal problems, the Director of Studies is always available to discuss academic issues, and we also have an Exams Officer who can give advice about further study in the UK. All other members of staff are equally happy to help students, whatever their questions or concerns may be.

For speakers of several languages such as Spanish, French, Italian, German, Chinese and Japanese, we try to arrange for long-stay students to have English "buddies" from our local high school. The English students may be studying the student's language, or may just be interested in meeting people from different countries. It's a great way to practise speaking English and make friends.
