Welcome to Concorde International

It is my very great pleasure to see that the founding principle upon which I established Concorde International over 40 years ago still remains true: a mutual understanding and shared communication. In 1972 we said that with Concorde International you would “break your language barrier”; since then tens of thousands of students who have enrolled on our courses have achieved success both in their English communication skills and professional development. The main strength of students’ success is, indeed, our team of teachers and the academic management. I am delighted that this was recognised by both the British Council Inspectors and the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) report in 2015, which found that “The college exceeds expectations... and is excellent in every department."

I look forward to welcoming you here in Canterbury!
