Frequently asked questions about studying English in Seattle

Why learn English at our Seattle school?

Seattle is a city known for its innovation and being home to some of the biggest businesses in the world – such as Amazon, Starbucks and Google – which makes it the perfect place for any budding entrepreneurs to learn English.  

But this city also plays hard: there’s the vibrant club scene that hosts various musical acts (Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix, Bing Crosby and Foo Fighters all started in Seattle), as well as multiple coffee shops where you can sample artisanal coffee and recover from all the club nights. For something more wholesome, Seattle has many stunning mountains and national parks nearby, perfect for hiking or (depending on the season) a weekend skiing.
