Young Learner Programme

If I had the opportunity to stay and continue studying English at this school, I would not hesitate to say yes.

I saw teachers interested in conveying information to each student for the first time. I would describe the teachers: energy and attention to each student. My teacher Nina always gave us very creative homework - it was entertaining. PSP (personal study program) - special thanks for this, says "bye" to the conversational barrier, allows you to speak out and hear people's views from different countries on the same things. It's a creative learning approach and always gets feedback from teachers on what you need to work on in your speaking.

On the first day, an excursion from the beautiful Jaslyn about safety in a new city and convenient locations near the school. She helped with the schedule and organized a tour in the blink of an eye.

I picked up housing on my own near the school, so I felt safer in a new country for me.

It was the best adventure of my life. I adapted to a new country and finally communicated with people from different countries, and I found friends. I realized that the world is much bigger and more beautiful and completely different than we can imagine, living in our routine. And knowing English is an essential skill that made it possible for me. I am glad that I finally understood why I studied English in my city, and now I learn it with a greater understanding of why and more love. Thanks, International school!

At International House it doesn't matter if you have a different age, different religion, different culture,... At IH you're just one big family. You get the chance to meet new people from all over the world, to discover magical Cape Town with them and most important, whilst improving your English language. The school is situated in the heart of Sea Point which offers a great outdoor-vibe as it's 2min away from the beach and the Pavilion Swimming Pool. Even from the terrace you have a magnificent view of the Atlantic AND Lion's Head. The school is also close to supermarkets, coffee shops & Mojo Market, which is really useful if the students wants to buy a little snack or drink while they are at school. In other words, the location couldn't be better. On the other hand, the teachers are always friendly and willing to help the students, no matter what. When you have some problems the whole team is ready to help the student. They try to engage all the students to participate at their Social Vibes, which offers the students the possibility to discover Cape Town together with fellow students and the staff. I can honestly say that it is a great school to study English and discover one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It really feels like home.

I really enjoyed my stay at International House Cape Town, the teachers are great, really good, professional, experienced and they were always available and patient whenever I needed. Thanks to them I really improved my language skills. At IH Cape Town all the students have 1 hr PSP every day, in the beginning, I thought it was a bit pointless but then I definitely changed my mind, during PSP I had the opportunity to study in detail topics that for me were really difficult to understand. The school is amazing, the staff is always smiling and ready to help whatever I needed. They also have this beautiful terrace where you can enjoy a fantastic panorama of the ocean and of the mountains, I really enjoyed my free time there. So, in the end, I had a great time there, I felt so sad when I had to leave. I definitely recommend this school to anyone: you can improve your English and have a great, safe wonderful experience in Cape Town.

I have been working as an intern for three and a half months and it has been an absolutely life-changing experience gaining insights in cultural differences and how to approach them in a marketing perspective which was really interesting. I will return to Belgium as a more globally minded marketer. I would love to thank all the staff and students for making this a memorable chapter of my life!

As I said, I appreciated my learning of English at IH Cape town. Teachers were always ready to assist me for any issue regarding my understanding of lessons and also I have lot appreciated interaction with others students from others countries. There were many activities also visiting table mountain for example. And, I'd like the availability of my host family during my stay.

I studied only 2 weeks, but it was fantastic!

Experienced teachers and friendly atmosphere helped me a lot to refresh my English and to brake the barriers of speaking.

Thank you!!!

Well regarding my classes and teachers, my experience was the best because they were never boring or made me feel so tired that I could not stand it anymore.

The location is perfect because is 2 minutes walking from ih to the beach, and I really the ocean and nearby there are many shops and restaurants, so it’s just perfect.

Facilities: the staff is always helpful and ready to guide you, they always have great recommendations to give about everything.

I have nothing to say about the activities because it was like super super super fantastic all the time for me.

I didn’t accommodation from ih so I can not speak about that from my experience but don’t remember any of my friends complaining about it.

I took a four-week intensive course at the International House Cape Town. I am very satisfied and would like to highly recommend this school.

Dedicated teachers taught me not only English but also the culture and history of this rainbow nation. In addition, thanks to friendly students from all over the world, I learned unique ideas and different points of view. Lessons were very helpful to improve my language skills, and extracurricular activities were very exciting.

I am confident that your experience here will be your treasure for life!

I really liked the location, teacher (Sebastian) and etc

I have been at international house for 6 months and I enjoyed it very much.
First when I came I couldn't talk English not a single word but after my 6 months here , I can speak better English than before and thanks to all my teachers at International House.
They have helped me a lot , so thank you International House and I hope I can come in the future to improve my English.

Note: my writing still bad but I'm trying to make it better and sorry if I made any mistakes.

Thanks a lot

When I arrived, I was not able to speak properly and there was many things that I didn't know. I started in Elementary and my English improved. I have finished in upper-intermediate and I am able now to be clear in my speaking, writing etc . The most important is your own effort, because , a teacher can be everything so that you can learn , but if you neglect, you will not learn as far as you could . I liked the classes , because the teachers take time to explain clearly, you feel how much they like and enjoy teaching. The school is also located in a good area near some banks , and other things easy to reach that could help a person who is new in the city. There are a lot of facilities and activities , I don't know if you can be bored. It is also a way to visit Cape -Town at the same time, you are learning and practicing English. IH also helps students with their accommodations and their house family. What I did not like is (maybe because I am a greed person), IH doesn't give bakeries on break time, it could be fine! Even a doughnut.

I am a real estate lawyer in Berlin (Germany), I took a three-weeks full day course in business English and real estate English. The teachers were excellent, the school facilities and equipment are of top quality, incl. digital whiteboards etc. Everything is well organised but still flexible and with understanding for individual needs and situations. The program for the evenings and weekends is very attractive and not just for "young pupils". I am with IH the third time now and can only recommend International House to everyone who wants to seriously improve his English and do this in a nice city with good weather.

Well, it's a big a challenge for me to describe how I feel about Ih Cape Town, because I've been here over 1/5 years so Ih is literally part of my family and all I'd like to say about Ih Cape Town is you should try to study at Ih Cape Town cos the facilities and quality of education is so high and the location of the school is brilliant cos we close to the all attractions places.

Actually I stayed at school's accommodation for first few months and honestly I found it very reasonable because they gave me such a good service which was great for me.

The classes were very amazing and useful in improving my language skills. The location was also excellent.

The school is located in the beautiful area of Sea Point in Cape Town. The school is new, well-organized, and has a methodology based on multimedia.

The teachers are excellent, polite and prepared.

I believe there is anything that I did not like in IH. The localization is perfect, the teachers are really polite and friendly, and the structure of the classes is modern and dynamic too. In my opinion I think that I could improve a lot my English, to the point of considering myself a fluent English speaker.

I hope I can go back to Cape Town as soon as possible! What IH gave me were incredible things about culture, and fun in an African country. I cannot describe only with words. :) Thanks to every teacher, director and functionary from there, for showing me this awesome place!

I have no words for my experience in Cape Town – ZA, especially in International House. I’d like to say that I have improved my English studying there and made friends. It was the best experience ever. It was a huge pleasure to be part of IH Cape Town for this short period. Thank you guys for this amazing experience.

My personal experience in Cape Town was wonderful . I liked that the class was multi-racial. Teachers were very good. Location, and facilities, activities, and housing were perfect.
