Ask a question

"Hi, I’m interested in doing a course in an international school but I have a few questions. I was wondering if you accepted people from England who speak fluent English as their first language. I was also wondering if you’d be able to give me some more detail on the school and prices. Would it also be necessary to tell me which grades you’re looking for students to get to enroll."

Lydia Robinson, student from UK
CIA Admin, Cebu International Academy school representative (CAS)

Actually, what we teach here at Cebu International Academy is remedial English, which we believe is no longer necessary for people in England since English is their native language. So, we don't think there is much we can offer to an English native speaker.
