- English Global Group Closed. After running our English Global Group school for over a year, we finally made a decision to close the school beginning this month. A lot went into this decision including, too few students, unfinished work on the adjacent house, neglecting Internet projects and a bit of controversy over some miscommunications with a good friend and assistant. Actually we decided to at least think about opening English Global Group again as a coffee shop and English conversation school but not sure at this time.
