 | Severnvale Academy provides a unique opportunity for immersion in English language, lifestyle and culture. Our location in Shrewsbury make this the perfect place to learn English… central in the UK, a regional capital, and one of the most beautiful historical cities in England.
What makes a perfect situation for language study? Learning must be enjoyable to be effective, and these factors contribute towards your enjoyment and your success:
First – a good school… British Council accredited; excellent courses taught by highly qualified, experienced teachers; all teaching in mini-groups and one-to-one; attractive, modern facilities. At Severnvale, we have been training professionals in English and preparing people for major English examinations for nearly 25 years. Severnvale is a member of EnglishUK, Business EnglishUK, HELSA, and is a Cambridge University (UCLES) ESOL examining centre.
Second – a good location. Shrewsbury is ideal. A lively, regional capital of 100,000 people with beautiful buildings and excellent facilities; and there’s no regional accent – the English spoken here is an excellent example to imitate and learn from. Shrewsbury is within 90 minutes of 5 international airports… Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Nottingham and Coventry (and only 2 hours from London Heathrow).
Third – not being surrounded by other foreign visitors. Severnvale is the only accredited language school, so nearly all social contact is with English people - people who are welcoming, helpful and friendly.
Fourth – excellent accommodation. We select the best for our clients – superb hosts who really enjoy taking visitors; lovely hotels and guest houses; self-catering shared houses and apartments… all are excellent.
And finally – individual attention. Most language schools claim to give lots of personal attention. Here it’s a reality. From your first contact, you will be in touch with people who care about you and your needs… people who have the knowledge and experience to advise you, and then to help you get the very best from your learning programme. That’s why this description is written by James Rogers – Director of Severnvale – and not a marketing consultant… because we want you to get a real feel for what we do here.
For professionals and for other mature adults needing rapid improvement in their command of the language, and those who need to demonstrate their level by passing a formal examination in English, Severnvale is perfect.
(Severnvale also runs a separate schools for younger students (aged 12-18) during July and August, at a separate centre within Shrewsbury.)
