English language courses in and around Cambridge – Welcome to CAE

Cambridge Academy of English (CAE) is proud to offer a caring, friendly and hard-working environment for English language courses.

Cambridge Academy of English is based in the world-famous university city of Cambridge, United Kingdom.  Our friendly and fun Summer English Courses for Young Learners  take place in an independent boarding school within easy reach of Cambridge. 

We first opened our doors to the world 50 years ago and over the years, CAE has offered a wide range of courses for students of all ages, including adults, professionals, business and law students, young learners and groups. Wherever you are from, and whatever your age, we invite you to join one of our courses.

Like many Cambridge Academy of English students before you, we believe it is an opportunity that offers you more than simply the chance to learn a language.  We believe it will be an opportunity that changes your outlook and your experience. It could change your life.
