Welcome to Englishzone International Academy

– Where learning is an adventure, every word matters, and education empowers through dynamic, engaging experiences.

Founded in 2014, Englishzone was born in response to local parents seeking engaging extracurricular language classes for their children. What began with English lessons for kids quickly gained popularity and momentum. As demand increased, so did the range of courses offered.

Today, rebranded as Englishzone International Academy (EZIA), the school proudly holds the distinction of being the first officially accredited Cambridge English center in the region.

Located near the Swiss border, the academy serves a community deeply aware of the importance of multilingualism. With many international companies just across Lake Geneva, mastering English—and other foreign languages—has become essential for those aiming to secure competitive career opportunities. In the Chablais region, the stakes are high, and EZIA is committed to helping learners rise to the challenge.

Presentation of the Center

Our language academy offers courses in English, Spanish, Italian, German, and Mathematics. We welcome learners of all ages — from young children (PS to CM2) to teenagers (middle and high school students) and adults.

Our team consists of qualified, passionate teachers, each with over 10 years of experience in teaching learners of all levels and backgrounds.

At EZIA, we are delighted to support you and your children in developing essential skills. In addition to the National Education curriculum, we offer complementary learning that builds confidence and enhances mastery of the subjects we teach.

Our school adopts a 100% immersion approach through individual sessions or small group classes (with a maximum of six participants). This structure ensures personalized attention and a high-quality learning experience. We listen carefully to each student’s needs and work together to achieve their personal or professional language goals as efficiently as possible.

What Make Us Special?

"Tailored Learning, Global Thinking—Our Distinctive Approach to Language Education"

Total Immersion in the Chosen Foreign Language

You will benefit from language courses in English, Spanish, Italian, and German, a total immersion from an early age. At English Zone, there is no translation; the ear is gradually shaped by the foreign language used. With frequent use of the language, it will eventually lead into developing the capacity to understand and use expression naturally.

A Personalized Approach

Our courses are taught individually or in minigroups of a maximum of 6 participants. The advantage of this approach is to be able to move forward at your own pace and provide a personalized listening and speaking experience, as well as quick improvement on reading and writing comprehension. We also establish their current level by evaluating them to ensure that they can join the appropriate group to allow each student to feel at ease and to progress according to their objectives.

A Cultural Journey in the Heart of Evian

For us, it is natural to explore American/British culture alongside other languages that we teach to learn the culture! (Acquiring vocabularies versus learning the culture are two different matter!) For instance, in Spanish, the culture of Hispanic countries is part of the information to know and can be approached through films, songs, and poems.

Cambridge Certifications

A real guarantee of quality, English courses are framed by the Cambridge method, recognized around the world. Throughout the year, we keep the program linked to the method as a common thread. Students who wish to do so can validate their level and their achievements at the end of the year according to the criteria imposed by Cambridge. In this case, we prepare students for the exam so that they have every chance of success. Most of our students leave with their diploma in pocket.

Quality Learning Achieved Through Quality Education

We are committed to surrounding ourselves with a team of qualified teachers who are native speakers of the language that they are teaching and with proper teaching diplomas to guarantee that they are highly trained to manage and complete the program appropriately. More than a course, you will literally be immersed in the culture of the language alongside teachers who are passionate about their profession and who want to pass on their knowledge.

Learn While Having Fun !

We are convinced that play-acting is an incredible path of learning, especially for children. Our teaching is often presented in a playful form, through the practice of board games or role plays that put the students directly in a situation. A proven method for developing listening and speaking skills while having fun!

The establishment of this academy was driven by a deep commitment to academic excellence and meaningful communication. Our goal has always been to provide a structured yet inspiring environment where learners can develop not only language proficiency but also the confidence to engage in a globalized world.
