About The Lanes School of English
The Lanes School of English hides in the twisting alleyways of old Brighton, surrounded by antique shops, cafés and jewellers. It's a calmer, more characterful choice - small classes, attentive teachers and a steady mix of general and exam-focused English.
Accredited by British Council and a member of English UK, the school keeps classes small (10–12 students) and its groups genuinely international, so English is the only common language from your very first morning.
