Bay Learning Academy is a new school established and NZQA Registered in 2012. We saw a need for a school which believed in small classes and student success and set about building an Academy that was firmly student focused.

Learning English is not just about great classes and wonderful teachers, although we have those. It is about being in a school where you feel comfortable, where you feel free to make mistakes, where you know you can get help and assistance when you need it and where your contribution is valued.

We believe in giving you a wonderful experience in a fun, family atmosphere, where you know you are welcome and wanted.
