Founded by an English language professor with decades of experience teaching at Japanese universities, Davao Language Academy (DLA) provides an intimate and supportive environment for English language learners.
Nestled in a tranquil hilltop residential community in GSIS, Matina, Davao City, our school combines the best of both worlds: proximity to the city’s vibrant life and a peaceful, scenic setting. Just 10 minutes away from top malls, shopping centers, and cultural landmarks, DLA offers a panoramic view of Mt. Apo, the Philippines’ tallest peak, and the stunning Davao Bay. Cool breezes and dazzling city lights create the perfect atmosphere for learning and relaxation.
At DLA, our small-scale environment fosters close, trusting relationships between students and teachers. Each student receives personalized attention, ensuring their unique learning needs are met. While Davao City is renowned as the safest city in the Philippines, our dedicated staff goes above and beyond to ensure your security and comfort. From driving you around the city to helping with errands and pickups, we treat you like family.
Our private van is available to take students to some of the best destinations Davao has to offer: farms, parks, beaches, markets, and malls. Known as the food basket of the Philippines, Davao offers a variety of fresh, affordable, and delicious food, perfect for any budget. Exotic fruits like durian, mangosteen, rambutan, and lanzones are abundant, giving you a taste of the region’s rich agricultural heritage.
As part of our student's cultural immersion, they'll also have the opportunity to visit our very own cacao farm, where they can experience crafting 100% cacao chocolate. This hands-on activity adds a unique touch to their stay. Additionally, with its root from the early 20th-century Japanese settlers, Davao’s strong historical connection with Japan creates a fascinating backdrop for cross-cultural exploration.
Our dynamic and passionate teachers are well-trained professionals dedicated to helping you achieve your English language goals. With DLA, learning feels like a vacation, blending education with adventure and cultural discovery.
