Our partner school is located on Florida Road, known for its exotic restaurants and lively nightlife. It’s just moments from the famous Musgrave Centre, one of South Africa’s largest shopping malls, and only five minutes from the city centre on public transport. The school has seven classrooms, a library and free Internet access is available. Two sun-drenched balcony-terraces open onto a charming garden. The school’s small size and approachable staff mean that you will study in a very friendly atmosphere.

Accomodation

Host family
Sharing the daily life of a host family is the ideal way to immerse yourself in the South African culture and to put your language skills into practise in concrete, “real-life” situations. Each family is carefully selected and regularly inspected by our partner school and is located about 30 minutes from the school itself. You will stay in a single room and breakfast and dinner are provided daily.
Residence
Close to the numerous restaurants, bars and shops of the Musgrave and Berea districts, the LAL residential centre offers several accommodation options: in a single or double room with shared or private bathroom. Breakfast is included and provided on site. Students share an equipped kitchen, TV room, games room and bar. A pleasant garden is perfect for organising unforgettable parties and provides the ideal setting for meeting other students from around the world.

Leisure

Our partner school offers a wide range of sports, cultural activities and excursions. In Durban the choice is so vast it would be virtually impossible not to find something to suit you: hiking, horse riding, fishing, sailing, diving, rafting, golf… On the weekend, you can go on a safari, in the 96,000-hectare Hluhluwe Imfolozi park, for example, a kingdom of white rhinoceros, lions and elephants. Or, after a long day on the beach, discover the marine world at uShaka or taste a local wine with your friends in anticipation of the evening ahead.
