Welcome to Our School

Clarence House Academy comes from a “once upon a time”, a true story that almost sounds like a fairy tale, starring a teddy bear.

North Wales, the hands of time flow back centuries. It is the second half of the 19th century and Clarence is a stuffed animal that comes to life from the hands of Eluned. She has a gift in mind for her young daughter Annette. Needle and thread, between a stitch and a cut-out, the woman looks out of the window overlooking the bay of Colwyn, the fascinating Irish Sea.

Times change and Clarence passes through generations, a fragment of the memories of a family with a European spirit. British roots, Italian heart, in Naples, to be precise.

Eluned was Carlette’s great-grandmother, mother of English teachers Matt and Martha Rowland – Tims, today’s guardians of the sweet  teddy bear and, above all, of the secrets of a profession that has become an actual mission: to create a corner of the United Kingdom in Naples, to teach perspectives (and words) of the country of tea amongst the faithful of the “tazzulella ‘e café”.

The Academy wins the bet every day with creativity and passion. Not an ordinary school. Clarence House is an original citadel of languages (from all over the world).  Inspired by the same-named London residence of Her Majesty Elizabeth. The quality of the courses is “royal”. Because here distant cultures approach each other through the current visions of the young team. And even Clarence, by now, seems to be indulging in an espresso.
