THE TEAM

Morris Academy was founded in 1988 by Mikel Morris, a well-known linguist and lexicographer who saw a growing need for quality English teaching in Zarautz and the greater Basque Country. Today, the academy has grown to a team of 10 world-class professionals committed to excellence through English.

OVERVIEW

We are now a household name in the region. Many academies (both big and small) have come and gone since Morris Academy’s founding, and this is a physical testament to the importance of quality instruction and proven teaching methods.
