Shane Education

Shane English and Shane Education, both under the umbrella of the Saxoncourt Group in the U.K., has more than 40 years of history. Both brands have school operations in countries like the U.K. and Europe, Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. Established in 1977, Mr. Shane Lipscombe, the founder of the Saxoncourt Group, started his first school from a Tiny flat in Tokyo Japan. Since then, the group has grown dramatically and has become a prestigious name in quality education in many parts of the world. Shane Education, the international brand of the group, provides education with localised features to meet the diverse needs of students in different countries.

Shane Education is now officially established in the regional education hub of Hong Kong. With our opening in Hong Kong, our teaching works have been adapted to place a significant focus on the local school curriculum. Shane Education, in partnership with Shane Corporation Hong Kong Limited, has brought together the finest minds in order to bring to Hong Kong, Macau, and neighbouring regions new curricula to fit the needs of students in these areas.

HISTORY OF SHANE

At the age 22, after moving to Japan, Mr. Shane Lipscombe, the founder of Saxoncourt Group, started teaching English classes from his tiny Tokyo flat. It wasn’t long before the public took notice of the quality of his lessons, and Shane was able to establish his first English school in Ebisu, Japan. From this single location, Shane English Schools grew to over 200 locations in Japan. There are now several hundred more schools worldwide, and growing!

In recognition of the contribution in promoting British culture and British English education globally, Shane English became the proud recipient of our own Coat of Arms in 1998. The award was presented to Shane Lipscombe at the Globe Theatre London by the ‘Heraldic Household of the Queen’. Such an honor is usually only bestowed on nobility and Shane English School is proud to become the very first English school to receive a royal commendation.
