I studied at this school from December 2021 to January 2022. The teachers were very kind and patient in their lessons. I was impressed by the principal who taught me that it is important not only to learn a language but also to deepen mutual understanding in different cultures. Edinburgh is a safe and beautiful city, and it is a great place to study. I would highly recommend this school.

Every time I visit Edinburgh I study at ECS Scotland for a few weeks. The city is beautiful, Scottish people are friendly. The school is in a good location in the centre and has a nice family atmosphere. Classes are small with 3 or maximum 5 students, this means you learn much and teachers give you time to talk and I had many interesting conversations with people. My schoolmates was from Czech, Italy, France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Spain and Thailand. I am happy with this school and will study again next time I will be in Edinburgh.

It was an incredible experience to be again in Edinburgh. Thank you very much for the wonderful time in the ECS! People are very friendly and the atmosphere in the school is really positive and familiar. The teachers gave me such a comfortable feeling in the class and they are skill in their job and they love to do their job. The location of the school is excellent in the center of Edinburgh. I really miss this school and hopefully I have opportunity to get there again to study English in ECS.

Spent 4 weeks at the school and had great time. ECS is small, family-run school located in very centre of beautiful Edinburgh. Since groups are small (5 maximum, 3-4 on average) one can fully take advantage of the course. And while it’s school for adults, there is no risk you will find yourself surrounding by teenagers. Teachers are nice, have great sense of humour, provide plenty of useful information about the city and Scotland and by chance they… speak English. Highly recommended!

I studied for several months at this school. I met lots of people from different countries, and studied not only English but also differences of culture. You can go on an excursion and visit a local place every Wednesday. It's a great experience to know real Edinburgh. My host families and teachers were very kind, friendly and helpful. You can feel relaxed during your stay.

I studied at ECS Scotland for 2 weeks in August 2016. This experience was incredible not only because I improved my English knowledge but also I enriched my personal development. The ECS Scotland School has a perfect daily planning organised for learning and practising English for all time. The teachers are very friendly and hospitable, and you can meet many people coming from different countries! I recommend it sincerely!!!

It is almost a year I spent two weeks there and I will never forget. I enjoyed every second of my stay. The school was great, teachers, trips, schoolmates-just met all my highest expectations. Host family superb, Edinburgh absolutely beautiful and Scotland as a country breathtaking. Would love to come back one day.

ECS Scotland is a wonderful school to study and improve your English! You work in small groups and this is great because you can ask questions and work better! During the morning break you can also meet new people and chat with them. And the weekly trip is awesome: an amazing experience to improve your English more and more!

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!!!! I selected 5 stars just because is not possible to click 6. I have spent 2 months in the school and it was the best experience of my life. The most beautiful thing is that there is an amazing atmosphere in the school! Everybody is selected from the management is polite and friendly, so it's really easy to meet new friends from worldwide. Really useful the breaks in the morning and afternoon, because is possible to have many interesting chats with everyone is in the living room. The quality of teachers is excellent: I had almost every teacher staying for a long time, and I learnt a lot from all of them, also because they correct you in a very friendly way! The IELTS course is particularly recommended: I was terrified by the idea of doing the exam before coming in Edinburgh, but at the end of the course I did the exam really prepared and so convinced that it was impossible to fail. We focused in deep on listening,writing,reading and speaking either in the morning or in the afternoon. Finally, groups are composed by 5 PEOPLE AT MOST! and it's really easy to learn and speak continuously, feeling part of the lesson as well. Moreover, teachers suggest several sites and items to study on your own once you are back in your country. Really recommended host families as well! They are all families in which you'd like to live for the rest of your life! I miss ECS SCOTLAND a lot! I will definitely come back!! Gianluca

I really enjoyed my stay in Edimburgh, mainly because of the reliability and the hospitality of the School. It was great in every his aspect: organization of the courses, teachers, excursions and host family. It is my first experience in a English school and so it represents for me a nice surprise. I think that my english is improved even if i spent in Edimburgh only 2 weeks. Time went fast because i had fun!

It was a great choice to have an English course in this school. I can appreciate the way of teaching English, excellent teachers and lovely family atmosphere. This course has given me a new energy to focus on studying English. Thanks to Niki, Lindsey and to all other teachers.

All the teachers are extremely friendly and helpful and I can say: my English improved during this two wonderful weeks. Thanks a lot for everything! And a very big thanks to my both lovely teachers :)

Last year I visited ECSScotland for two weeks. I liked it very much- the humerous and experienced teachers, the familiar setting, the athmosphere, the class, to meet people from all over the world, the excursions and....- it was great fun and I learned a lot. So I decided to come back this year. Now I had to say good buy a second time and it could be I will become addicted to ECSScotland and Edinburgh.....

Maybe there are others schools as good as this, but hardly better. Very small groups (4-5 people in may), very good teachers, very good value for your money.

I really enjoyed my experience here: the teachers are friendly and professional, and the school is well organized! I think I'll come back!

Because of the lockdown, I was taken care of at the principal's home for over 4 months. It may not have been the best environment for studying abroad, but the principal, including the principal, gave me everything I could do for me. Thanks to everyone, despite this situation, it was the most enjoyable and fulfilling language study abroad program I have ever had. They created delicious Scottish food, taught us about traditions and culture, took us to beautiful tourist destinations, and created opportunities to talk to various people. (I introduced it to my friends and relatives!) It is a school that I can recommend sincerely to those who are looking for a school that offers delicate, warm, and personalized lessons.

(Translated) Family school located in the center of the New Town of Edinburgh. Treat you cozy and professional. I chose this school because it allowed to do intensive courses of only one week and because it is focused on adults. The groups are of maximum five people and you have the option to make personalized 1-to-1 sessions. There is a weekly excursion. Very friendly and cordial teachers. In general, very good experience. (Original) Escola familiar situada al centre de la New Town d'Edinburgh. Tracte acollidor i professional. Vaig triar aquesta escola perquè permetia fer cursos intensius de només una setmana i perquè està enfocada a adults. Els grups són de màxim cinc persones i tens l'opció de fer sessions 1-to-1 personalitzades. Es fa una excursió setmanal. El professorat molt amable i cordial. En general, molt bona experiència.
