St Peter’s School of English: Supporting your success
St Peter’s School is a family-run, medium-sized school
where we have been teaching English to foreign students since 1966. We
have a friendly and supportive atmosphere and most of our staff have
been with us for many years and are very experienced.

St Peter's has been accredited by the British Council since 1972 and we are also
a member of English UK. The school is situated inside an attractive, period
building in the centre of the historic city of Canterbury, (pop 40,000).
We are just a few minutes' walk from the magnificent Cathedral and the city
centre with its shops, cafes and sites and from the medieval streets and their
often ancient buildings. In the evening students can go to the theatre or cinema
or relax in one of the many restaurants and pubs, or attend the regular social
evenings at the school. There are seven classrooms with use of DVD, video and
audio equipment. There is also an internet centre with free wi-fi where and nine
free broadband computers plus a library of audio visual materials where students
can listen to stories, practise listening comprehension and work on grammar and
vocabulary. At the top of the building there is a games room and a large beamed
sitting area with a small cafe bar, where students can meet their friends for a
cup of tea and a chat. During the summer months they can relax in the private,
beautiful, 18th-century walled garden available for staff and students.
Small class sizes give you a good opportunity to use your English and a chance
to make friends. We also understand that your experience outside the classroom
is very important to your learning. Canterbury is a city with a good cultural
heritage, and we can arrange homestay with local people so you can experience
English traditions.
