WHY ADL?

We are based in the beautiful cathedral city of Canterbury, England. Canterbury, has long been associated with education, beginning with the founding of St Augustine’s monastery in 598 AD. 

We Have Moved – Our Historic Office

We recently moved from our Lower Bridge Street offices (built in the 1970s), Canterbury, and relocated to Lullingstone House (built prior to 1606), located in St Johns Lane, Canterbury, situated within the old city Roman wall.

Lullingstone house is a Grade II listed building c17, abounding with original oak beams and architectural features typical of a building of that period.

It was the home of William Somner (1606 – 1669), an English antiquarian scholar who published in 1659 the first Anglo-Saxon dictionary, titled Dictionarium Saxonico-Latino-Anglicum.

Who would have thought that 424 years later, an online school would be following in the scholarly footsteps of Somner, providing education via computers and the internet.

The spirit of learning lives on!
