We had no ambition to change the ESL name to Kaplan or to convert ESL offices to Kaplan agencies... We have shown that it has worked

Nine language schools selected from more than 400 language schools won prizes at the third ESL Language Travel Awards, held in Spain this November.

After 18 years as part of the Ecole Suisse de Langues Education Group, ESL Language Schools is breaking away to become a new independent entity named ALPADIA Language Schools. ALPADIA will continue to offer language courses in Switzerland, France, Germany and England, where it hosts over 6,000 students each year.
