Why Choose Meridian?

Enrollment at the Meridian Language Center has been the beginning of a new life for many of our students. The same may be so in your case as well. While being a serious professional language learning center on the one hand, Meridian also connects you with hundreds of others from around the globe, all working together to accomplish similar goals.


Sevastopol

The life-long network you will develop among our staff and students is one of the many great benefits we offer.

Our language center has been in operation for more than twenty years. Over these decades our facilities and staff have evolved into one of the most effective language training institutions located in Russia and the Former Soviet Republics.

We offer a wide range of study, including Russian, English, Italian, Spanish, French and German. The center uses its own method, "Learning Can Be Fun", to make a foreign language enjoyable and easy to grasp. This method helps students reach their personal, academic and career objectives in a surprisingly short time.

Meridian’s certified teachers represent from three to thirty years of experience in language education. Four full time support staff ensure efficient operation of our facility in downtown Sevastopol which houses 5 classrooms, a student lounge with refreshments, our extensive Library, as well as our up to the date Audio, Video and Computer services. In fact, as we continue to grow, we will be expanding again at the beginning of 2008, by adding a second location in Sevastopol with four new classrooms.

Ourcurrent facility is located in the center of bustling Sevastopol, just a short walk from our recommended residences, a wide variety of restaurants, shopping, and a vibrant night-life. Public transportation is just steps away from our door.
