Located within minutes of the city centre, our campus is private and secure, set within its own grounds, offering on-site residential accommodation, classrooms and a dining room in one enclosed facility. Alternatively, students can choose to stay with any of our long-standing host families. Safety is of the utmost importance to us, with a porter on duty 24 hours a day, along with 24-hour monitored security camera surveillance.
With a teaching capacity of up to 300 students (maximum 14 students per class), our campus also boasts a student common room with leisure facilities, playing fields, other sports facilities and a basketball court. Wi-Fi is available all throughout the campus and in residential accommodations.
With direct access to London within 1 hour by road or high-speed rail, we are perfectly positioned to explore what the South East of England offers.
Chaucer College delivers a range of English language courses throughout the year to groups (minimum age 9 years) and individual students (aged 16 years +). We offer a range of courses in general English (standard and intensive programmes), exam preparation, teacher training, school immersion programmes and business and corporate training. During the summer, we run a popular Junior Summer Camp for students aged 11 – 17.

Summer English School Chaucer College — English language school in the UKCanterbury CT2 7LJ, UK
I spent two weeks in this college with my school; all the places were so comfortable! There were a lot of classrooms, and the days passed so quickly, I couldn’t believe it was already the end! This was one of those experiences that I would repeat endlessly, like in a loop.
Thank you so much.

Thank you for the wonderful trip - we returned yesterday.
All was very well organized, from accommodation, meals to direct organization, including travel to other cities, on the program and extra. All our numerous requests, from a change of level of the class to visiting the fireworks. Food - otpada. Attitude - great. Detail - we had old invalid tens, so Ed, the director, he personally changed them and delivered the next day).
We were their first Russian group, and, as always, they will remember us in a very good way)))
I regret that I had not contacted you earlier with this college, but I'm glad we had the time)))
Ed. the director of the center wanted to contact you personally via email. I wouldn't mind going again to the center where he would be the director either.
They took us to Dover Castle for an extra trip.
It was really cool. I think you can go to Canterbury. There's not a lot of Russians there and a lot of Japanese.
