About Us

We aim at taking education from the phase of mere acquisition and retention of information alone to the next level of possessing a set of life skills, good citizenship and emotional intelligence. Our publications bring values into the classroom to nurture a generation capable of developing the mature emotional intelligence skills required to better understand, empathize and negotiate with other people around the globe. We believe that our success and the success of the teaching profession today depend on our ability to read other people's signals and react appropriately to them.

At Canterbury Books, we are well aware of the needs and wants of the 21st century students and teachers. The editorial and writing staff at Canterbury Books draw on their experience of international markets and feedback from many teachers over the years to develop a wide range of materials that cater for the requirements of the 21st century teaching. We also take into account the market-specific requirements and work very hard to meet those requirements in multiple formats combined with key areas like media, CUL, values, and learner-centered instructions that address the distinct learning needs, interests, aspirations and cultural backgrounds of individual students and their teachers.
