ESE and ETI in Malta become QE schools...

Why do you think your school is a Quality school?
ESE management is quality-driven and continuously investing in both training for staff and the school itself. At the moment, for example, the school cafeteria, welcome hall and reception area are undergoing major refurbishment.
What made you join QE?
QE membership gives our school an added edge over other non-member local schools and guarantees agents and students the best of standards across all our services. When choosing to work with QE schools, agents know they are dealing with professional institutions.
Why would you recommend QE from what you know so far?
QE Missions facilitate quality meetings with serious agents. It allows educators to meet and build a personal rapport with agents. In the context of the dehumanised/faceless, technology-driven methods of communication in the modern world, I believe that relationship-building is more important than ever for sound working partnerships to thrive.
What are the main reasons to recommend ESE and ETI to a foreign student wishing to learn English?
Students who choose ESE can look forward to a memorable study travel trip on a sunny small island in the Mediterranean where successful language learning, lifelong friendships with multinational classmates and a dynamic social programme will remain imprinted in their hearts forever. the large number of repeat students we have, year after year, is a testament to this.

Quality English visits another school for 'Quality control'
|
|
|
The point of these quality control visits is to review the school's references and its own quality control mechanisms such as their feedback systems. What agents tell us is vitally important.
Frances King has schools in central London - in Kensington and Belgravia all year and in Marylebone in summer. All our schools are in travel zone 1 close to underground stations and tourist attractions. They are within easy reach of each other and are well-equipped with study centres and common areas where you can relax and practise your English with staff and other students.
