Founded in 2004, Canterbury Language Academy (CLA) is one of the leaders in international language education in Sydney Australia. A proud part of Canterbury Education Group, we are a dynamic and well run English language institution.
Over the past 10 years, Canterbury Language Academy has provided professional English language training to thousands of international students from over 30 countries around the world.To support the high quality of our English programs, we provide students with an up-to-date, ‘live’ progressive curriculum which is constantly updated based on student and teacher feedback. This allows for interesting and effective teaching methodologies and a caring and friendly teaching approach from all teachers and staff. Every student is treated as an individual learner and not just as a member of a class. Our friendly, experienced and caring teachers and staff are always focused on every student’s learning goals.
Our modern campus is conveniently located close to Central railway and bus stations, Darling Harbor, Chinatown and the centre of Sydney City. Students will find major universities, sport facilities, libraries, restaurants, cinemas, cafes, shopping, and museums all within walking distance in most cases.

While you are studying with us, you will experience enjoyable and memorable extracurricular activities, creating lifelong memories. Every 5 weeks there is a school wide excursion to one of Sydney’s famous tourist attractions including a lesson and review the next day.

We also provide counseling on all matters related to student life in Australia and can organise safe and affordable accommodation, for you if you wish.

All in all, Canterbury Language Academy will make your language learning experience a very productive, unique and rewarding one.
Language learning is a complex activity which requires a professional approach. Canterbury Language Academy pays special attention to creating a formal learning environment in the school.

Over the years, we have established a reputation for excellent standards of teaching, combined with personal care and attention, as well as a truly warm and friendly atmosphere, all at sensible prices.
