British Study Centres School of English

British Study Centres School of English is a group of English language schools consisting of four adult language schools and three junior centres in the UK. The head office is based in Marylebone in Central London. The schools specialize in the teaching of English as a Foreign Language and teacher training courses. It is part of the British Study Centres group of colleges of further and higher education.History and locationBritish Study Centres has its roots in distance learning courses from the 1930s onwards (a precursor to the Open University which grew up in the 1960s), branching off from its sister company West London College which offers further and higher education courses in 1996. The first school was opened in Oxford, and after a location move in 2008 now occupies the four-floor building of Oxenford House in the centre of the town. In 2002 the second college was opened in Brighton, and in 2004 a third school opened in Marylebone, central London. A fourth school opened in Bournemouth in May 2010 as well as a specialist teacher training facility in central Oxford which opened later that year. The college's head office moved from Hannah House to Duke Street, opposite Selfridges and adjoining Oxford Street, in early 2010.
