Language course English in Cape Town

Good Hope Studies

Learn English in Cape Town at our partner school Good Hope Studies. This school has two locations, one in the city centre, and the other location called Newland campus, which is a private building in a leafy, upmarket residential area of Newlands. When making a booking, you can mention which location you prefer.

Newland campus: Close to the school you can find shops, restaurants, bars and various sports facilities. Apart from 10 classrooms, the school has a large garden and outdoor pool. Popular beaches and the city centre are just 20 minutes away by public transport.

City centre campus: The city centre campus is located on the 14th floor of an upmarket office building with shops and coffee shops downstairs.There are 17 classrooms, all with natural light and airconditioning, interactive boards, modern design, relaxation areas, a self-service tea-kitchen, a cafeteria and self-study areas. The school is centrally located, close to accommodation, public transport and many tourist attractions like the V&A Waterfront, Parliament and Company’s Garden.

Social programme

The Good Hope Studies Social Club aims to help students meet people from all over the world and enjoy themselves whilst they learn English in Cape Town. Examples of the excursions organised by the school include:

  • City tour
  • Table Mountain
  • Transport to on a Friday to Long Street, one of Capetown’s best nightspots
  • Cape of Good Hope
  • Township tour  

Intensive

There are many options for the intensive course: 16, 20, 25 or 30 lessons per week. The lessons include grammar, reading, writing, listening and vocabulary extension, with a strong focus on communication. An emphasis is placed on real-life situations through role-plays, conversations, interviews, and simulated telephone dialogues.

Students have a choice of 16 lessons per week (Mon - Thu) or 20 lessons per week (Mon - Fri), which are held in the morning (from 09:00- 12:40). In addition to these lessons of general English, students can book additional afternoon options ("Focus groups"), to reach a total of 25 of 30 lessons per week.

These afternoon classes are not suitable for absolute beginners. The Focus Groups, unlike the morning classes, are designed to mimic the world beyond the classroom where communication happens between people with a varied command of English. Focus group classes, therefore, accommodate a mix of levels: strong Beginners mix with Elementary students in Survival English. The other focus groups mix students from Pre-intermediate level and higher.

Minimum age is 17 years.
