Welcome to Global Village

The concept of the Global Village was first popularised in the 1960s as modern communications made our planet a much smaller place.

For many years Global Village English Centres has been bringing students together from around the world to enjoy a complete experience in a choice of exciting locations.

By offering a broad range of high quality programs, a wide selection of accommodation options and a full year-round schedule of activities, we want students to enjoy a total experience – this is your chance to get to know new countries and share your culture with people from all over the globe!

Through our GV360° philosophy, academic excellence, quality accommodation, and engaging activities, we provide a whole service from the moment you decide to come to our schools until you return home.

This year, we would like to encourage you to go beyond the classroom; our English Plus programs bring serious language study together with the unique activities for which our great locations are famous.

Be it in Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, Victoria (all in Canada), Hawaii (USA) or in our three Australian locations (associate schools in Sydney, Brisbane and Noosa), we will be sure to provide you with an education that will serve you a lifetime – see you soon!
