The world as we have known it is changing and so is Concorde International as we overcome challenges with the help of technology and our committed teachers who have gained experience teaching online and in hybrid classes.

CIAO…Concorde International Academy Online took flight initially for our summer schools and now offers you classes either in the mornings, afternoons or evenings to fit in with your time schedule.

For over 48 years Concorde has helped thousands of students to break their language barrier and more importantly to make friends with fellow students from all quarters of the world whether in safety online or here in Canterbury.

I am delighted that we have such a good mix of students for our live ‘face to face’ teaching, who appreciate the social atmosphere in the school, the personal contact at every level of our organisation, plus our welcoming homestay families; truly a 24/7 immersion enabling you to make the maximum progress during your stay.

The added opportunity to start your classes online and to consolidate your learning on your return home is something to embrace and will I believe be the future learning experience for so many of our students.

The contents of this brochure highlight the range of courses and accommodation that we offer to meet your individual needs.

I hope very much that we may welcome you either online or here in Canterbury, our heritage city so that you may explore the wonderful surrounding countryside and coastline.

Best Wishes

Colin StoneDirector

Accommodation Student Life

We understand that our clients have very different preferences when it comes to choosing their accommodation, and are pleased to offer the following choices in Canterbury.

Homestay Accommodation Most clients choose to stay with one of our hosts where a warm welcome is guaranteed. Students have a single room and the host provides breakfast and dinner each day.

Students enjoy the opportunity to practise their English outside the classroom and experience life in a British home.

Students of the same nationality are placed in different homes unless friends ask to be placed together.

Our hosts are located throughout Canterbury, and the nearby seaside towns of Whitstable and Herne Bay. They are visited and checked by the Concorde homestay team.

In Canterbury, some students will be able to walk to school each day. Others will need to take public transport.
