World's premier provider of English language instruction enters the African market with opening of landmark center in Casablanca, Morocco
BALTIMORE, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Wall Street Institute, the world's premier provider of English language instruction, announced today the grand opening of its first learning center on the African continent. The center is located in Casablanca, Morocco.
With a population of over 34 million people and recent increased investment in infrastructure and growth industries such as tourism and energy, Morocco is a prime market for Wall Street Institute's proven English language training method. The Wall Street Institute method focuses on speaking and understanding English in everyday business and social settings rather than the traditional focus on simply teaching grammar out of a textbook.
'Casablanca is a city poised for accelerated growth and new employment opportunities. This type of rapidly growing economy and expanding business sector demands more and more English speaking employees, making this market a natural fit for Wall Street Institute's innovative and proven English language instruction method,' said Christopher Eden, Wall Street Institute's Vice President of Franchise Operations and Development.
The new center is located in the Anfa district of Casablanca, a well know business hub. Wall Street Institute is planning further development in other major cities in Morocco.
The new center in Casablanca is on the leading edge of technology and design. The center has an open floor plan with comfortable spaces where students can study or meet with teachers and friends. The center is designed to be a warm, inviting place for students to learn English.
The opening of the first center on the African continent is the latest example of the company's increased investment in expanding its global network. In 2008 the company entered the markets of Russia and Czech Republic and celebrated the Grand Opening of its 400th center, located in Qingdao, China. Wall Street Institute opened 50 new centers in 2008, and currently has a total of 427 centers in 28 countries.
