In July Bilbao witnessed the opening of it latest English Academy. The doors finally opened in the new St George's Academy of English in Bilbao - Alameda Urquijo 100, Bilbao.

The academy occupies the entire floor first of the Alameda Urquijo 100 building and has been comprehensively renovated to exact specifications. With 9 lavished, fully equipped class rooms and extensive student areas.

The centre is run by Denis Davey, a Glaswegian who has spent the last 16 years in Bilbao as a professional English teacher both within the public sector and private Academies.

The English Academy prides itself on its academic success with teaching methods varying on age range to competency levels. Much of the methodology is based on the Cambridge methods developed and refined over many years experience.

The St George of Bilbao English brand originated from the college in Leioa, where over the past 50 years the English school has developed an enviable reputation not only for its academic success but also for methodology, character building ethos and attention to detail. Much of these fundamental building blocks from the bases upon which the St George’s English academies are founded.

The first English Academy was founded in 2004 on the Leioa campus. Taking advantage of the extensive facilities and picturesque gardens, the academy rapidly developed into one of Bilbao’s leading English language academies. Today the Academy boasts more than 1000 students and 30 native English speaking teachers.
