Scarborough International School of English

Welcome to Scarborough International School

Scarborough International School of English, founded in 1968, was one of the first English language schools in the UK to be recognised by the British Council. To this day we follow the strict codes of practice of The British Council and of English UK.

We have been welcoming students from around the world for more than 40 years. We are family owned and take pride in offering a caring and friendly service to our students.

We care about our students

Particular attention is paid to making sure that students are happy with their homestay accommodation as well as making progress in their classes. We care deeply about each individual student and are committed to providing a safe environment in which to study.

We welcome everyone - from children too young for full time study to senior citizens learning English for leisure purposes. Indeed we often have entire families coming to study! We offer courses to suit all needs from General English to highly specific one-to-one programmes for business people or professionals in different disciplines.

Summer

In the summer the combination of a friendly environment, exciting activities, and topic based English language programmes, together with a stay in England’s oldest, and, in our opinion, most beautiful seaside town is a fantastic experience for all ages.

Staff

Because we care about our students we are committed to ensuring that our teachers are passionate about English language learning. We work constantly to improve our programmes and aim to be excellent in our teaching. All of our teachers are native English speakers with professional English teacher training. They are friendly and available to help both in person and online via the SIS Student Zone.
