About Northern Quarter English School
Northern Quarter English School is right in the middle of Manchester's most creative neighbourhood - independent record shops, street art and coffee bars on every corner. The atmosphere is relaxed, the classes are small and the social programme runs on the city's famous music scene.
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.
