Following an intense build process and against a glittering backdrop of excited students and eager local residents and businesses, Emil Dale Academy is now preparing to open its doors in Letchworth Garden City. 

Emil Dale Academy runs part time course for ages three to 21 and full-time course for ages 16+, offering Further and Higher education qualifications in collaboration with the University of Bedford.

The academy has relocated from Hitchin and taken over The Grammar School on Broadway in Letchworth Garden City.

Local residents and businesses are invited to come and join the team to see the exciting new space, learn more about the courses on offer, and find out more about what Emil Dale Academy will be bringing to Letchworth Garden City.
