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 is still at the heart of CLAC and drives what we do today.

From the start CLAC has operated like a family both in terms of management and the atmosphere of its summer schools. CLAC is owned and run by the George family, who have never waivered in their commitment to remain small enough to keep a family feel and provide personal attention to their students. Priority is given to ensuring that CLAC 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 unique to CLAC 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.
