International House Cordoba and Huelva is known locally as “Academia Británica”.
The history of Academia Británica runs parallel with the history of International House, which was founded here in 1953. It was the first language school in the city and continues to thrive as one of the longest-standing language schools in Spain.
International House is the most prestigious global network of language schools in the world, with affiliates in 52 countries and with over 160 schools in some of the world’s best-known cities. As part of IH World, we benefit from and contribute to continual professional development and employment opportunities within the network. We prioritise teacher training and personal growth in the team.
The school’s committed team of professional teachers work together in a thriving educational community to offer English, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, Greek and Spanish classes. Academia Británica offers a diverse and comprehensive programme for teachers including constant support, weekly seminars, training and mentoring.
Academia Británica has five schools in Andalusia, in Córdoba and Huelva, and all are equipped with cutting-edge technology in comfortable, well-adapted premises, which are ideally suited to face-to-face and online learning.
The school is an official Cambridge Examining Centre as well as an accredited Cervantes Centre for Spanish. Our levels go from Pre A1 to Post C2, and we offer general English and exam preparation courses from 3 years to adult.
