Our school in Cape Town
Our school has two learning centres, one in the very heart of Cape Town and the other in the fashionable and quiet residential area of Newlands.
The city centre school is located in a pedestrianized street, close to the historic Castle of Good Hope and just a short bus ride away from fantastic beaches and the popular Waterfront shopping area. Inside the school you will find nine comfortable and fully-equipped classrooms, a computer room, library, kitchen and a break area. Public transport is close by as well as plenty of shops, restaurants and other amenities.
Based in the affluent Newlands neighbourhood, close to the cricket and rugby stadiums, our second school building has an outdoor pool and its own beautiful and relaxing gardens, where English lessons often take place outside. The school also has a student lounge, computer room, library and spacious classrooms, all with natural light. There are shops, restaurants and sports facilities within walking distance of the building.
Both centres offer free wireless Internet access, as well as complimentary tea and coffee in the breaks between your English classes!
