Studying English Abroad During COVID-19

At EC English, you, our students, come first. We do not react, and we do not settle for the “easy fix”. We research. We reflect. We make decisions based on the best learning outcomes. We are continuously monitoring the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation in all of our schools. We will continue to comply with the national advice for each location and do everything possible to secure the safety of our students and staff.

Adapt. Stay Positive. Develop.

All teachers have been trained to deliver fun and effective learning, despite the constraints of social distancing. They do this while continuing to protect the safety of our students and team members. This is our top priority.

In the event that quarantine is necessary or a city goes into lockdown our students can continue learning via EC Virtual, using the same course content to help you learn, develop, and progress the same way as if you are in face-to-face lessons. As always, your success is our ultimate goal and we will continue to do whatever we can to ensure you succeed.
