About the school and city

IH Quito started in 2016 and currently has around 50 students. They currently have one full time teacher, five part-time teachers, a Director of Studies, a Center Manager, IELTS and exam supervisors, and administrative staff. It is a small school that is experiencing rapid growth, particularly in the Young Learner’s program, but additionally in IELTS and Cambridge exam preparation courses. They anticipate that this will continue, due to increasing demand for TEFL in Ecuador writ large, and also due to increased community awareness of the school.
