Intensive School of English (ISE)

ISE Hove, formally the Intensive School of English, is a family-run English language school occupying Panorama House at 2 The Drive in Hove, part of the city of Brighton & Hove on England's south coast. Founded in 1997, it has operated from its current premises since 2006 and sits one block from the seafront, above a coffee shop, with twelve classrooms across two buildings. Classrooms carry computers, dictionaries, interactive whiteboards and flat-screen displays, supported by student WiFi, a library and a social programme of cultural trips and sports.

The school teaches British English to adults from A0 beginner to C1 advanced. General English runs year-round in morning or afternoon sessions, with flexible timetables and 15- or 21-lesson weekly options. Exam preparation covers IELTS and Cambridge B2 First (FCE). ISE Hove is also a Cambridge English teacher-training centre, delivering CELTA courses for aspiring teachers. Younger learners are served by year-round English classes for children, a Boarding School Preparation Course for ages 11 to 16, an English plus activities summer school for teenagers aged 12 to 17, and a Parent & Child course.

ISE Hove is a registered provider with the UK Department for Education (UKPRN 10043776) and a Cambridge English teacher-training centre (centre number 56108). It appears in independent education directories such as Language International, which lists its General English and junior summer courses.
