OUR STORY

OUR STORY

Meridian School of English started in 1979. At its peak Meridian was one of the largest providers for young learners in the UK, with over 4,500 students studying in eight British Council Accredited residential centres. Meridian developed its own educational platform which managed the booking process from initial enquiry to class confirmation. In 2020 Meridian fully digitised its business taking the teaching of English into the student’s home.

We want as many people as possible to join the Meridian community of learners. To reach people that may not be able to pay we have committed to:

  • 33% of all students have a free Trial (which we call an Exclusive Trial
  • that 10% of all our students will come from developing countries* at a discounted rate i.e., 70% have a 20% discount and 30% a 40% discount on course fees
