Concorde International was established in 1972 and organised its first Summer School at the University of Kent in July 1973. A group of French students attended this first course. Now we are welcoming over 3000 students a year from all parts of the world.

The policy of the school from the very beginning has been to uphold standards of excellence in every department thereby guaranteeing students success and happiness.

Today Concorde International enjoys a worldwide reputation. All our courses are recognised by the British Council and the organisation is a member of ARELS the professional association for schools who seek to maintain the same high standards in tuition, accommodation and welfare.

Over twenty nine years Concorde International has developed in different directions.

Concorde International takes over private schools in the South of England to run Junior Vacation Courses. London and other exciting cities are close to most of our centres, so the students visit many interesting places.

You can be sure that Concorde International is always in the forefront developing ideas and new programmes to meet the demands of our ever changing world.
