We also offer a variety of non-ELT summer programmes studying Arts, Sciences and Business.

Stafford House International has 3 year-round locations in Cambridge, Canterbury, and London. These schools benefit from being co-located with other schools in CATS Global Schools allowing us to deliver a high-quality service to students and staff. We deliver our signature Professional Certificate courses and Business English programmes in London and IELTS preparation in all three locations and our General English programme is enhanced by our module courses in the afternoons in all three locations. All three schools deliver programmes from groups booked through Study Holidays throughout the year.

We offer a true experience for our students, and it takes dedicated and special employees to help deliver that. Our Lions are part of the Stafford House family from the start as we quickly integrate people into the team and look to build individuals skills to allow them to truly excel in their role and push on to greater things.
