Frank Bell founded the first Bell School in Cambridge in 1955. His mission was to promote international understanding by providing high quality language training to students all over the world.

In 1972, he established an educational charity - the Bell Educational Trust (now trading as Bell International). Its main aims remain: to provide language education for adult students and young learners; to train teachers and to offer language learning and teacher training experiences that will promote international understanding and intercultural exchange.
