English language school goes inner city

The Campbell Institute has a new, urban location, with its Auckland campus officially opening in Newmarket last night.

Previously located in East Tamaki, Campbell Auckland is now closer to major transport links, shops and cafes, allowing its growing number of international students to access the buzz of central Auckland.

“Newmarket is the perfect place for our students to have a New Zealand experience while still being in the heart of the action,” said Tim Mahren Brown, General Manager of The Campbell Institute, which recently celebrated its 15-year anniversary.

Education agents, ATEED representatives and ACG staff celebrated the opening, which also highlighted the benefits of being an education group: vocational college NZMA provided catering and hospitality services, and Campbell’s close proximity to ACG Parnell College now enables the two providers to share resources and develop new pathway programmes together.

“We now feel like we have a campus worthy of the hard work and wonderful teaching that has gone on here over the past 10 years, with space to allow for growth, and to allow Campbell to make its mark in Auckland as one of New Zealand’s premier language schools,” Mr Mahren Brown said.

 

The Campbell Institute also opened a new campus at the railway building in Wellington recently. The event marked Campbell’s 15-year anniversary as a leading English language institute in the capital. Read this news
