Language school Cape Town
EC

You will study English in the heart of Cape Town. Our partner school is housed in a modern building, ideal for learning in a studious and friendly atmosphere. The staff are welcoming and the 16 classrooms are well equipped. A library, resource centre and free Internet access complete the school’s facilities. After classes or during breaks, relax with your new friends over a coffee at the “Café”, to plan the weekend’s excursion or the next party. Long Street, just near the school, is full of boutiques and trendy cafés. And if you want to travel and see the country, the station and port of Victoria and Alfred are about 20 minutes away.

Accomodation

Host family
Staying with a host family in Cape Town is undoubtedly one of the best ways to practise the language and immerse yourself in the South African culture. All the host families are chosen with the greatest care by our partner school, so that you will feel at home and be able to practise your English daily in a friendly atmosphere. You will have your own room and breakfast and dinner provided daily.

Residences
Our partner school also offers accommodation in a residence, which gives you the opportunity to meet students from all over the world and to share with them the unique experience of a language course in Cape Town. On the practical side, bed linen and towels are provided and changed once per week.

“Sea Point”
Located close to the residential area of Upper Sea Point, about 15 minutes from the city-centre and the school, this modern residence has 24 double rooms with shared bathrooms and half-board provided. A common room with TV, DVD player and video games gives students the opportunity to meet and socialise together. Internet access and laundry facilities are available at an extra cost.

“Mountain View”
Located in a peaceful, residential area, just near Signal Hill and about 15 minutes’ walk from the school, this modern and functional residence offers EC students six rooms (single, double and triple, some with a private bathroom). You will share the equipped kitchen, laundry and TV room with your housemates, as well as the large rooftop terrace, which has an uninterrupted view of the city, the harbour and the famous Table Mountain.

Leisure

Our partner school organises a wide range of sports, (multi) cultural activities and excursions. In Cape Town, the offer is so vast it would be almost impossible not to find an activity to suit you: hiking, horse riding, fishing, sailing, diving, rafting, golf… and surfing too, of course! Don’t hesitate to take the time to visit “Tsitsikamma”, a beautiful nature reserve on both land and water. If you want to admire the majestic ballet of sea mammals, don’t miss Hermanus Bay. In the evening, having spent long hours enjoying the beach, meet at the Café Caprice to taste a local wine with your friends and let yourself be captivated by the carnal rhythms of traditional African music.
