St. Giles International Review

The first St Giles College was founded in London in 1955 by Paul and Diana Lindsay. Since then the organisation has grown in the UK, USA, Canada and Brazil.

Today, with more than 50 years’ experience teaching English and running schools, the St Giles Group of colleges is one of the largest and most successful international English language training organisations, with a total of eight year-round schools worldwide. Every year an average of 10,000 students, from over 90 different countries choose St Giles for their English language learning needs.

In 2006 we were voted Star English Language School worldwide in the Language Travel Magazine’s Star Awards!
