We are committed to excellent service standards. Clients will receive individual attention and the help that they need to achieve their goals. It is very important to us that they enjoy their entire stay and our philosophy is to take both professional and personal care of them. Our school is situated in Sea Point, a beach front suburb on the Atlantic seaboard of Cape Town. Sea Point is one of the most vibrant and cosmopolitan areas of Cape Town. Only ten minutes from the city center, it has a beautiful seafront promenade where you can walk, jog, play soccer or simply relax and watch the sunset over the sea. The school is very close to the world famous Clifton beaches and the V & A Waterfront, a major tourist attraction with many different things to do. In the Main Road of Sea Point you have easy access to all public transport, many different restaurants, shops, banks, the post office, supermarkets and anything else you need. The area is clean, neat and safe, and has beautiful mountain and sea views.
Our courses are of the highest quality and are continually evaluated to ensure that students learn from the best materials, with the latest methodologies. We are committed to providing high quality English language training in a professional yet interesting, relaxed and friendly environment. Our classes are small with a maximum of 8 students, which enables our teachers to pay individual attention to their needs and ensure they achieve their goals.
Before students start, we evaluate their level carefully to ensure that they join the right class. Thereafter, we continue to evaluate their progress, discussing any special requirements they have so that together we can make the best decisions for their future. Our teachers are well-qualified and experienced; they will give them the knowledge and confidence to use their English to the best of their ability. Our lessons are designed around the skills they need and they will practice their structure, reading, writing, listening and speaking. Students will always have more than one teacher so that they listen and respond to two different voices, and the more they practice the faster they will learn. At the end of their course they will receive a course certificate, which shows their level of English.

Other Activities:
Cape Town with its splendid beauty and golden rich culture is the perfect city to learn in, live in and fall in love with! Known as the mother city it lies between the sea and mountains and its natural beauty is impossible to escape. From the magnificent splendor of Table Mountain, across the white beaches and breaking waves, through the buzzing cosmopolitan city and into the vibrant nightlife...your memories of Cape Town will live on forever!
You have chosen the right city, now choose the right school. Based in vibrant Sea Point, our school is centrally located, close to shops, the Waterfront and just around the corner from our famous beaches. Our school is smaller than most and we pride ourselves on a professional approach in a relaxed and friendly environment. Because we are small, the students quickly get to know each other and social circles are easily formed. Our social program is a great way to interact with fellow students outside the classroom. We enjoy dinners together; Cape Town has some great restaurants. We go for sunset picnics or a game of beach volley ball – the perfect way to end the day. You may want to join us at a museum, and if music is your thing, come and dance with us in the vibey clubs and bars. The social program is based around what YOU want to see and do.

For those who enjoy nature, the options are endless. Take a hike up the world famous Table Mountain and watch the world from above, or try a sunset walk up Lions Head and admire the full moon as it sets over the city.

Our township tour gives you a true taste of township life, with the residents proudly welcoming you to their homes and introducing you to their traditions.
