About the ACK Language School
In today’s fast-paced and rapidly-changing world,
effective communication is more important than ever,
and knowledge of another language as a means of local
or international communication is
of paramount importance.
Local and International Travel has become a permanent and
ever-growing feature of modern society and today
traditional language programmes form only part of a
complex range of programmes required by groups and
individuals as a way of achieving personal, educational
or professional goals.
Mobility involving cultural exchanges among countries
worldwide has become an integral part of professional
development in a way that couldn't have been imagined
a few years ago.

The ACK Language and Orientation has had over fifty years of
experience in providing quality language, professional
development and cultural programmes to groups and
individuals of all ages and from more than 50 countries
worldwide.
As learners' needs changed, we developed a sophisticated
range of courses to meet those needs; mission work,
pastoral service in remote areas,
influx of refugees of different nationalities,
foreign service, hearing challenges, university pathway and
examination preparation courses,
tailor-made specialised programmes for groups and
individuals, blended learning and in-service courses
for teachers, training through different languages.
We bring energy and enthusiasm in responding to the new reality
that is local and international service today and to
developing suitable programmes across a broad spectrum.
We also provide expert training in a variety of different
locations so that
clients can choose the type of programme and the
location that best meets their needs.
We remain
committed to an ongoing evaluation of what we do in
response to the constantly-evolving world of local
and international service, without ever losing sight
of the fact that it is the individual learner who is
at the centre of what we provide.
Learning a language offers a new perspective on the world
and on life and we are proud to be part of that experience.
