Rachel writes about her time learning English, and having amazing experiences, at EC Miami!

In 2009, my husband, my best friend and I decided to create ABEONA06, a non-profit organization which supports people in their language-related projects abroad!! The first English school we worked with was EC English school in Malta.

EC celebrates it's first 3 Canadian schools!

LSC celebrated its 50th year in Canada and its transformation into EC with live music, fine food and a popular photo-booth hosted at the newly refurbished EC Toronto English school.

Agents, friends and EC staff from across the world celebrated together on April 18, 2012. Nearly 200 people attended the event, including EC’s Executive Chairman Andrew Mangion and CEO Mike Xuereb.

Want to party with the Queen this summer?

Students interested in history and culture should consider taking an English course in London this summer because England – and particularly the capital – will be celebrating 60 years of Queen Elizabeth II.

Some sad news to share with you today. The racing boat Malta49er, which EC has sponsored for the last three years, has not been able to win a place at this summer's London Olympics. The final qualifying event has just ended in Croatia, and unfortunately the team has missed out on qualification by just one position. Agonisingly, the young Maltese sailors finished in sixth place when the top five teams were a guaranteed a place at the London Olympics.

Considering the boys had to directly compete against bigger nations with larger budgets, the boys did remarkably well.

Only five places remain in the 49er category for this summer’s London Olympics, and EC sponsored Malta49er is at the final qualifying event in Croatia.

It’s now or never for sailors Seb and Benji as they look to book their place to compete in the world’s largest sporting event. At this moment they stand in sixth place behind Bermuda, Japan, Italy, Canada and Greece. With only five nations qualifying, Malta49er must finish in the top-five or else they won’t be going to London.

Having the best schools means you having the best time on your course.

At EC we are committed to high standards: we want to have the best schools, the best lessons and the best teachers so you will have an experience you will love!

To make sure our standards are maintained, our schools are inspected to by major accreditation organisations. These organisations visit our schools and carefully check the quality of service we provide our students. It's not easy to get accreditation; it takes a lot of hard work and effort.

Influential Japanese EFL magazine Ryugaku Journal has given out its 2012 Best School Awards and, we are pleased to let you know, EC was recognised in two categories!

Based on the votes of 500 students, EC is a winner in the the Best Chain School (UK and USA) category, while EC Brighton ranks in the top-ten of the world’s best English schools.

We are very excited to share with you some fantastic stories where the EC family has been responsible for making a positive impact in our local communities and environments!

EC San Francisco

Did you know that EC San Francisco is a LEED Gold Certified building? This means they generate greenhouse gas reductions equivalent to removing 270 vehicles from the road, and use 36% less water than minimum government standards. Something for us all to aspire to!

The EC sponsored 'Malta 49er' is representing Malta as one of the 15 nations competing for the last 5 Olympic places for this year’s London Games.

After 2 years of preparation, sailors Sebastian Ripard and Benji Borg are at the final competition to decide which countries will be involved in the 49er category at this summer’s Olympics.

Wow, what a busy few months it’s been at our EC schools!

Firstly we welcomed our first three Canadian schools into the family with the acquisition of centres in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.
