What is a Pearson GSE Partner School?

The Global Scale of English (GSE) is the world’s first global standard for scoring English language proficiency. It is a result of extensive global research, going beyond other language measurement tools, such as the CEFR, to provide unparalleled insights into learners’ skills.

Designed for schools, Pearson GSE Partner Program is a two-tiered accreditation (Silver and Gold) that recognizes an English language learning curriculum adhering to GSE standards for both teaching and learning.

By joining the program, partner schools can promote their accreditation and connect to a national network of like-minded educational institutions.
