We started as the European Language Academy (ELA), founded in Auckland in 2000. This was a boutique European language school, geared to the teaching of the most popular European languages. ELA was then joined by the Asian Language Academy (ALA), founded in 2006 as a complementary Asian language school.
ELA and ALA were not just language schools: the two academies also offered a range of services to businesses and to schools. In New Zealand, we were pioneers in the area of cross-cultural consulting services.
As the company expanded, we created an umbrella name to cover all the services we provide. The name we chose was Euroasia - to reflect the world we wish to open up to New Zealanders.
We have our head office in Auckland, but we provide our language and cross-cultural services across New Zealand.
In July 2007, Euroasia was recognised by National Business Review as the 3rd most exciting company within the New Zealand education sector.
