Founded in Cambridge in 1985.

CLAC was founded in 1985 with the idea of bringing together overseas and British students for an international summer course experience with a focus on natural language exchange and friendship. It is an idea that still drives what we do today.

For 2026, CLAC has joined with ECS (English Country Schools) which like CLAC operates as a family both in terms of management and the atmosphere of its summer schools. Both are comitted to providing personal attention to their students.

Priority is given to ensuring that the course retains everything that has made it special for so many years, giving the best learning experience combined with the highest quality care.

We believe language learning should be enjoyable, so our courses combine traditional lessons with inspiring interest-based classes, an exciting social programme, special events and a wide range of sports, activities and memorable day trips.

If parents ever have any concerns, there is always someone to speak to personally, giving them assurance that their needs will be met by those who make the decisions.
