The Cambridge Academy of English is an international year-round language school attracting students of all ages and nationalities who wish to learn English in a friendly, hard-working environment.

About us

was established in 1975 and over a 30 year history has built a strong reputation for a friendly, supportive and professional approach to English language teaching and learning. We are not part of a large chain and pride ourselves on the personal touch.

At CAE, the individual is important. We value each and every student and member of staff for the unique contribution they make. We offer our students a memorable and educational language learning experience. We offer our staff the opportunity to further develop their own portfolio of skills within a supportive and refreshingly professional environment.

We are committed to more than quality classes in a foreign language and much more than easy fun in the English sun. Through the teaching, learning and an experience of the language, we hope to share an insight into English life and culture. We offer a warm welcome and hope that each of our students will soon feel at home with us, our language and in our country.
