expert teaching...
is something we have all experienced at one time or another in our lives. It depends on experienced teachers understanding your individual needs as a learner; and then having the flexibility and skill to adapt to them, helping you learn as much as possible. We have a team of such teachers – enthusiastic, well-qualified and caring - and have developed courses and teaching methods which inspire, motivate, and most of all, deliver the language progress you want.

...in a unique location
Shrewsbury is one of the finest medieval towns in England. A regional capital with a population of 100,000 - centrally located with no regional accent - yet not dominated by tourism and with just one accredited language school - Severnvale Academy. This is a place where total immersion really is possible.

John Rogers (Principal) & brother James Rogers (Director) established Severnvale Academy in 1982 and have continued to run the school throughout its history. Jane Crawshaw-Parry joined the team in 1990, becoming Director of Studies in 2002.
