EV has become a pioneer of providing Communicative Language Teaching to Asians whose access to practical communication skills is limited in their countries. Moreover, it has always been about the students their educational needs and comfortable living. Up until now, in every curriculum we research and formulate, in every advancement we endeavor to take, our students are always the driving force behind it. To become better, to provide better service and to become the best in what we do. This is why we continuously do what we love to do.

EV Academy - English Language School in Cebu, Philippines - School Features

Flexible Study Style & Strong Academics

Originally a strict Spartan-style school, EV Academy now offers both Spartan and semi-Spartan courses, plus a wide range of programs from general ESL to intensive IELTS and TOEIC preparation. It is also an officially recognized IDP IELTS test center, giving test-takers a reliable and comfortable study environment.

Truly International Environment

With a relatively low proportion of Japanese students and a diverse mix of learners from Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China, Vietnam, Mongolia, and more, students are naturally encouraged to use English every day, both inside and outside the classroom.

Comfortable, High-Quality Accommodation

On-campus dormitories, designed by a French owner, are spacious and comfortable even for shared rooms. Off-campus options in the AVIDA RIALA condominium in Cebu’s IT Park are also available—both choices are ideal for students who value cleanliness and well-maintained facilities.

Resort-Style Campus Facilities

The modern campus includes stylish cafés, a swimming pool, a gym, an activity room, and a clinic, allowing students to live, study, relax, and socialize entirely on campus in a resort-like setting.

Rich Student Life & Activities

EV Academy offers free group classes on weekends and public holidays, along with monthly events, Zumba and yoga sessions, personal trainer gym programs, movie nights, and weekend day trips—creating a fun, motivating environment to improve English quickly while enjoying life in Cebu.
