INTRODUCTION TO BELL 9 The Bell Story One man’s vision Bell was founded by Frank Bell, a University of Cambridge graduate, with a love of languages and a vision to promote intercultural understanding through language education.

Frank’s inspiration came from his time as a prisoner of war during the Second World War. In the harsh conditions of the camp, he taught his fellow prisoners Spanish and French, a simple act of defiance that quickly led to the creation of a secret university, which taught a broad range of subjects.

After the war, Frank Bell returned to England. Reflecting on his experiences, he realised that the route to international co-operation and understanding lay in learning. This led him, in 1955, to open his first language school in Cambridge, which still operates today. 2013 Since then, Bell has grown from one prestigious English language school in Cambridge to an internationally Bell teacher campus recognised, high-quality education business, which unlocks the world for its students through learning English Macao welcomes teachers and learning in English. from across East Asia
