Cardiff Academy

Cardiff Academy stands for the traditional values of honesty, integrity, professionalism, and, above all else, a duty of care for each and every student that passes through our doors. We have a holistic and inclusive approach to student entry and progression, which allows us to demonstrate the potential of students of all abilities when taught under the best possible circumstances. In our opinion, this is what real teaching is all about, and what makes learning at Cardiff Academy a true joy.

What parents and students have come to realize since we first set up in 1999 is that Cardiff Academy really is an institution which puts the child first. What they have discovered here is an educational ethos which respects the individual. Academic high-flyers excel in this system because our small class sizes allow them to engage in debate with teachers who are true experts in their respective subjects. However, less academically able students fare equally well as a result of the enormous amount of individual support and encouragement they receive from our teaching staff.

As a result, all students at Cardiff Academy are given the chance to show what they can do under the best possible circumstances and in the knowledge that, no matter what happens, we will always be there to support them. This is a powerful message and one which is being increasingly recognized as such by more and more fee-paying parents and students in Cardiff and beyond every year. At Cardiff Academy we have implemented a blend of eastern and western education philosophies.

We value virtues such as commitment, diligence and perseverance. This is combined with the western perspective which adopts a student centered approach, encouraging students to be lifelong learners and placing importance on critical thinking, creativity, self-confidence, motivation and flexibility. With this combination of East and West, we ensure our students not only excel academically, but also develop rounded personalities, enabling them to be prepared for University Life and beyond.

We believe it is important to develop the whole individual and as such pride ourselves on  our  inclusive learning environment where we aspire for all students to reach their potential. Through our nurturing approach we are able to get to know the students very well and can easily anticipate where they may need additional support with their learning. Our constant aim is to build confidence in our all students installing in them the same passion for learning as demonstrated by our outstanding teachers. We have carefully recruited these colleagues who have a passion for their subjects and are hugely enthusiastic in imparting that knowledge to the learners. In creating this secure, rich learning environment we are confident that all our students will grow into learned young people.
