as a foreign language. The original aim of the school, was to help Christian missionaries from overseas to learn English. We continue to enrol trainee
missionaries on our courses and a number of the staff and students belong to
the Christian faith. However; everyone is welcome to apply. We teach English courses for students of all levels. Our students come from many countries including China, Brazil, Colombia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Poland.
