Teaching the Future since 1996 — high-quality, affordable English, Lao and skills training across Laos, taught by native English teachers

Welcome to ARDA

ARDA has trained Lao people since 1996, growing into one of the country's most trusted language and skills institutions with over 10,000 alumni. Every English teacher is a native speaker from an English-speaking nation, delivering high-quality education in a genuine English-speaking environment.

Across our four language centres in Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Pakse and Savannakhet — plus a dedicated Skills Development Centre in Vientiane — we offer English courses for all ages, personalised one-to-one Lao lessons and vocational skills programs, furthering both individual and national development.
