International House World Organisation

The International House World Organization (IHWO) is one of the largest and oldest groups of language schools in the world. Founded in 1953, we are a global network of over 160 affiliated private language schools in 52 countries, spanning every continent.

Quality is the core of everything we do. Only schools that meet our exceptional quality standards are allowed to use the International House brand.

International House pioneered Teacher Training programs for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and our courses and centers remain some of the most sought after in the industry with training for other languages ​​too.

International House teachers write the course books. Many of the course books used today by ELT are written by trainees trained by International House. These include Headway, Cutting Edge, Natural Grammar and Fountain.

The International House World Organization operates in four key areas:

We publicise our member schools to students.

We provide teacher training.

We organise events to publicize our member schools to agents.

We set industry standards in quality language teaching.
