THE SCHOOL

Promises

The first International House school was set up in Cordova by John and Brita Haycraft in 1953. Apart from  language courses, they also offered teacher training  courses for English teachers who wanted to teach their language to foreigners. These training courses, based on applied linguistics and methodology, have contributed greatly to the new  developments in the world of teaching. This was the start of the International House Certificate which later became the CELTA qualification that is assessed by Cambridge English University.

The International World Organisation has 160 schools affiliated all over the world which follow the standards of quality in language teaching. For this purpose, the management, the directors of studies, the academic and the administrative staff attend training courses and the schools are periodically inspected   by qualified  members of IHWO.

London School International House was founded  in 1987 by Fabiola Cordaro. In 1992 it was officially recognised by the “Assessorato Beni Culturali e Pubblica Istruzione” (the Sicilian Ministry of Culture and Education). It has been a Trinity exam centre for more than 15 years. In 1999 it became a member of AISLI. It is also a Preparation Centre for Cambridge exams. Since 2017 it has been a Teacher Training Centre.
