BACKGROUND
In the 1940’s Alyerd Campbell Brown was at the forefront of New Zealand and Australian education – leading the way in the teaching of foreign languages, including Latin and French.
The Campbell Institute continues his legacy by providing the most supportive and prestigious environment in Wellington for studying language and education. This is achieved by setting the highest possible academic standards, and creating an environment where each student feels like they are part of a large international family. The 3 directors of The Campbell Institute are all teachers themselves, with more than 70 years of teaching experience between them.
The Campbell Institute is an English Language School, which provides students English language skills for further study, work, or personal development. Its programmes are recognised by several universities and institutes of technology, and are accredited by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) (see registration certificate).
The Campbell Institute’s Wellington campus is situated in the heart of Wellington’s Central Business District. School facilities include classrooms, lecture rooms, student common rooms, kitchen and a computer suite.
The Auckland campus is located at beautiful Bucklands Beach, south of central Auckland.
THE CAMPBELL INSTITUTE PHILOSOPHY
Education Philosophy
The Campbell Institute is a very focussed institute. Students must be serious about study. Our teachers are serious about teaching. And they do more than teach language. The Campbell Institute helps students to become independent and creative thinkers and learners. This will be your best chance for success in further studies.
English as a Global Language
English is becoming a tool to be used like any other tool - in business, in travel, in study, and in research. More people speak English as a second language than as a first language. This means that it is important to learn and speak an international variety of English. At the Campbell Institute you will learn a standard of English that is recognised and understood around the world.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT:
"To give students an educational experience that surpasses their expectations and enables them to achieve their academic, professional and personal goals."
