ELC is not just about learning English - important as that is - it is about learning from each other; teacher to student, student to student and student to teacher. Our aim today is the same today as when we started in 1962 – to provide the best teaching and learning facilities that we can. ELC Chester is a great place to study and make friends Our English language school in Chester is based in 3 elegant buildings in Stanley Place, a small historic square in the old walled city of Chester.
