education.
We have the global scale to ensure the broadest range of English
language and University Pathway programmes in the world’s
most popular study destinations.
Yet we retain highly personalised college communities in which
every student matters and belongs — and where student
experience and outcomes are unsurpassed.
6
3. Outcome-focused English courses
Kings English gives you English for Life — whether for Work,
for Study or for Experience. Our courses will develop your
fluency as quickly as possible but they go even further.
They also focus on practical real-world subjects to make
your learning come alive. Find out more on pages 48 – 61.
2. Choice of city and campus locations
Whether you want the thrill of a city, the calm of a campus —
or even if you want both — at Kings you’ll find the perfect
location. Find out more on pages 10 – 47.
10. Fantastic activities and excursions
We believe students do best when they have a total
experience inside and outside the classroom. That’s
why we devote so much attention to providing a wealth
of extracurricular activities — for both learning and fun.
Find out more on pages 80 – 82.
5. Exceptional teaching quality
All Kings courses are renowned for the excellence of their
teaching quality. Small classes give you close access to your

and regular progress testing keeps you on track.

If you want to go on to university, Kings is the perfect choice.
Our dedicated university advisors will work with you
personally to devise a path to the very best university for you.
1. Quality you can trust
Kings has been operating successfully for nearly 60 years.
We have the expertise and credentials to provide the highest
quality student experience. Our quality is recognised by the
world’s leading accreditation and inspection bodies.
9. Quality accommodation within walking distance
We believe that where a student lives is a vital part of their
experience. It’s the reason we have invested so much in top
quality student accommodation. What’s more, at every
location we offer accommodation within walking distance
of school (except Marymount). For long-term students, this is
guaranteed. See pages 84 – 85, and location pages.
4. Pathways to the best universities
Kings Pathways can prepare you for success at the very
best universities in the USA and UK. Our specialised
expertise provides personalised learning plans and
dedicated university counselling which enable you to
Reach Higher. Find out more on pages 62 – 77.
6. Latest learning technology
Our approach to learning uses the perfect blend of direct
face-to-face teacher contact and the latest digital learning
platforms. Supplementary multimedia content accessed
though iPads or interactive whiteboards will back up your
teacher contact time.
8. Very wide nationality mix
Last year, students from 88 countries studied with us.
This ensures friendly, supportive communities in which
each student feels like they belong and where English is
always the common language. Find out more on page 79.

Long-term study benefits“
I studied English a bit at school, but that was all. In my first week, I thought ‘I am never going to be able to do this’! When I came here I wasn’t able to say anything in English. I couldn’t understand anything at the start but even after one month I really knew a lot, it was unbelievable.
”Arianny Viviana Seijo Noguera, from Venezuela arrived at

“ I like that we have the possibility to choose different lessons for the morning and afternoon. In the afternoon I did a business class. I can recommend it for everyone because our teacher Andy is a fantastic teacher. We did a lot of practice which is based on the real business life and we could learn how we can negotiate well and what kind of language we have to use when we are speaking with our business partners.
”Anita from Hungary studied the
Intensive English course at Kings London

“ The English and mainly the Art lessons prepared me a lot for this year (Foundation). I’ve always liked to draw and to be involved with art. I had some classes at school but it was very basic. The course prepared me a lot because it gave me a different vision — a completely different way to look at art. English was great too, the teachers are fantastic, and I was staying with a host family so I had to speak English all the time — it helped me a lot.
”Ana Sofia Da Silva Ferraz, from Angola, studied the English Plus Art and Design
programme before taking the Advanced Level Foundation at Kings Oxford.
She is now studying for an Architecture degree at Oxford Brookes University.

“ The teaching at Kings was really effective. It really prepared me to do TOEFL, I didn’t have any surprise when I did the test because it was really what I saw in class.
There were lots of exercises where you had to work in a group of 2 or 3 people and it was always good.
”Samy Belakbir from Belgium studied the

He then went on to do an internship at Kings. “ I have been involved with IELTS for over 14 years. I work with a dedicated and experienced team who will guide you through your test application, from registration to results.

At Kings, teaching and learning is at our core. For us,
though, it doesn’t just take place in the classroom.
Instead, we view teaching and learning as a broad and
constant process which enables us all to become better
citizens — locally and globally.
We aim to make a difference across three main areas within
Kings Social Responsibility — Sustainability, Community
and Education.

work to build and sustain schools in some of the world’s most
disadvantaged regions. Kings Education has committed to fund
the building and resourcing of at least one new school each year.

Fundraising activities
To do this our students and staff take part in exciting
fundraising activities. Recent examples include abseiling down
the 100-metre Spinnaker tower, putting on plays, organising
fashion shows and selling gift items.
