English schools

CG Academy

Since opening in March 2004, CG Academy has provided personalized instruction while respecting each student’s individuality and autonomy.
Our small group classes foster trust among students and between students and instructors.

This relaxed, home-like atmosphere encourages students to speak English confidently and without hesitation.
In addition to English language learning, our school offers valuable opportunities for cross-cultural exchange through communication with people from diverse backgrounds.

Furthermore, courses are broadly divided into four stages: introductory (for building a solid foundation), beginner, intermediate, and advanced. We have carefully designed diverse curricula tailored to each level to keep English learning engaging and prevent monotony.
Led by native speakers, our experienced instructors offer comprehensive support, including speaking practice, pronunciation correction, listening and reading skills, simultaneous interpretation, and more.
Through these diverse classes, our students are empowered to steadily progress toward their individual goals.

At our school, the entire staff collaborates to ensure students can study diligently in the best environment. With a proven track record, CG Academy is committed to supporting your dreams with our full dedication.
