The School

Rotorua English Language Academy opened in 1993 as the only private language school in Rotorua, which is situated in the North Island of New Zealand.
The school expanded steadily, adding a new classroom block and
student common room in 1997 and extra rooms in 2002. Our student
numbers
range from 40 - 50 during quiet periods to 150 – 180 at busy
times.
Rotorua English Language Academy is registered with NZQA, and is a member of ENGLISH NEW ZEALAND,
an organisation of well-established quality language schools. We are also members of
Quality English, a worldwide organisation of schools chosen for
the excellence
of their teaching and services. Rotorua English Language Academy is also an approved training
centre for the University of Cambridge CELTA teaching qualification.
We now have 19 classrooms, each equipped with comfortable and modern
furniture. There is a computer suite with broadband Internet connections,
which can be used for classes and for self-study. In addition, there
is a large student common room with more broadband computers for
free e-mail access. The common room also contains a fully-equipped
kitchen and free tea and coffee facilities. The school has a separate
games room with pool and table tennis tables, and its own petanque
court. Opposite the school there is a large sports field, and close
to the school are a swimming pool, badminton hall and squash courts.
Our teachers are friendly, helpful and well-qualified. All regular
tutors have internationally recognised qualifications and are skilled
