The Brief Introduction

History

The Cambridge Language Center was founded in 1981 in Tainan, Taiwan by Mr. Chi-Jong Su. Since then, thousands of qualified students attended its programs. Cambridge opened at University Road in Tainan which is close to the National Cheng Kung University. However, having expanded, the school built another branch school to accommodate new students in 1991. The new site can allow 500 students attending classes at the same time. Now, Cambridge has about 2000 adult students attending every level of English , Japanese, German, Franch, and Spanish classes. After years of successful development, Cambridge has become the biggest language institute in Tainan and has 45 full time and part time faculies with bachelor, master and doctorate degrees. Eighteen of them are foreign teachers from United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Japan, Franch and Spanish

To achieve our goals, Cambridge opened many courses related with language training. We also cooperate with many foreign schools to recruit students. The classes Cambridge now has include:

Generally, a one year program is frequently been taken by students.
