Language school Cape Town, LAL Cape Town

Our partner school LAL is established in Cape Town since 1993. Since 2007, it occupies a large building which is very well-located at the heart of the fashionable district, Sea Point which is only a few minutes by car (or by taxi) from the city centre. The famous Cape Town beaches, Clifton and Camps Bay are around 10 minutes by public transport away from the school! In the new LAL Cape Town premises, students enjoy a very comfortable environment and numerous modern infrastructures for learning. In addition to the 15 classrooms, the school also includes a TV lounge, free WiFI internet access, an area for games and relaxing with a bar, a swimming pool as well as a garden which is ideal for barbecues...so many opportunities to make friends and to speak English after class! Finally, LAL Cape Town will gladly assist you in your South African adventures: in the activities office, you will be able to book all of your excursions, hire a car and get advice.

Host family
The host families live around 25 minutes away from the school by public transport. They have been carefully selected and are regularly checked by our partner school in order to ensure that students enjoy a high level of comfort and share the daily life of the locals, their customs and of course their language. In fact, living with a host family is undoubtedly the best form of accommodation for improving your language skills in conjunction with your lessons. Students stay in single rooms with half board provided daily.

The school offers leisure activities in the form of a weekly program that emphasises sports, social life within the school and cultural events.
