RIYADH — EC English celebrated the opening of its branch in here, marking its first presence in the region, during a ceremony held recently at the school in Olaya View Tower, in the presence of senior representatives from EC International and business partners.

The EC International School is specifically designed to provide non-English speakers with a unique opportunity to experience a full immersion program that will help them learn English as quickly as possible and achieve the desired development at their convenience.

Located near the Kingdom Tower in Riyadh, EC Riyadh offers modern and technologically advanced tools to enrich the educational experience.

Mohammed Al-Ghamdi, chairman of the board in EC Riyadh, stressed the role of EC in revolutionizing the quality of English teaching services in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. “The EC curriculum is carefully designed and mapped to global standards to develop and raise English language competencies and improve their skills.”

He added: “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is investing heavily in developing the education system in line with the National Transformation Program 2020 and the Kingdom's Vision 2030, to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed for future jobs, and access to quality education.”

Andrew Mangion, chairman of EC International, said EC brings an innovative approach to learning English based on extensive experience of helping tens of thousands of students achieve their goals year on year since its founding in 1962.

He added, “We have devised new ways and methods to teach English, which facilitate English language learning and help students pave the way to a successful future.” — SG
