Celtic English Academy, established in 2004, is a friendly and welcoming British Council accredited English language school in the centre of Cardiff. We take pride in our small class sizes, great teachers and wonderful support staff. For the past 19 years we have been offering a range of classes to both adults and younger learners. Due to the success of our 2022 Junior Summer Programme, we will be expanding the programme this year.

Situated in the border market town of Monmouth in the historic county of Monmouthshire, the Haberdashers Monmouth School will be the home for our 2023 Junior Summer Programme and benefits from a picturesque setting, surrounded by the stunning scenery of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Nature Beauty. In 2016, Wales was named the Best UK Youth Travel Destination (British Youth Travel Awards).

The aim of the Junior Summer Programme is to provide students aged 11-17 with English language lessons every morning. Full lesson plans and materials are provided and have been specifically designed to fit the needs of our students and teachers. Lessons adopt a communicative approach and integrate general English, British culture, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Class sizes are a maximum of 15.

In addition, our younger learners will have the opportunity to participate in afternoon activities such as sports and arts & crafts. They will also have one mid-week half day excursion and one full day excursion at the weekend.

The teachers will be responsible for preparing and delivering 15 hours of engaging lessons to younger learners (11-17). In addition, teachers will be required to assist with some of the social activities, to help at some mealtimes and to help welcome new students as they arrive.
