Ewa-Lilian Adams – 24 October 1931 – 13 January 2026.
It is with great sadness that we share the news of Ewa, “Mrs Adams” passing in January 2026 at the age of ninety-four. A remarkable woman whose life has touched so many of our lives, in all corners of the world.
Ewa-Lilian Adams was the founding principal at Cambridge Academy of English in 1975, and she remained closely connected with the school throughout our 50 years.
Ewa visited the CAE summer school in July 2025 as part of our 50th anniversary celebrations! Ewa was our VIP Guest of Honour and she sparkled, as glamorous and engaging as always – full of stories and life advice for children, teenagers and adults alike. It was a real honour to have Ewa celebrate this milestone with us in person, and we know she loved it too! 50 years and counting! What an achievement! What a legacy! A quite remarkable woman. “English is a weapon for Peace” she said. So let’s use it wisely.
With deep respect and gratitude. Rest in Peace, Mrs Adams.
A life well lived is a life never forgotten (anon).
