Embassy wins LTM Innovation of the Year award

It's official: Embassy's schools are the most technologically innovative - and we have the award to prove it.

Each year, Language Travel Magazine asks hundreds of agents all around the world to vote for their favourite language schools.

Last year, we were delighted to win the award for 'best chain school'. But in 2008, we hoped that Embassy would be recognised for the innovations we've made across all our schools in the area of technology.

When you study with Embassy, you'll experience a range of modern technologies. Interactive whiteboards ensure your lessons are both engaging and efficient. Wireless internet access in all our schools, and many of our accommodation facilities, ensures that you can access our online learning at any time of day or night, and, of course, stay in touch with friends and family back home.

This year has also seen the introduction of our revolutionary new e-learning support package, Embassy i-Study.

In the near future, you will see many more technical innovations come to all Embassy schools. In the meantime, we are very grateful to have been recognised for the advances we have already made.

You can see videos of interactive whiteboards in action on our Cambridge school page and our Hastings school page.
