About Good Hope Studies
Well established
Good Hope Studies is one of the best established English language schools in South Africa. Our students benefit from the wealth of experience and knowledge we have built since 1995.
IALC Member
Good Hope Studies is a member of the prestigious international association IALC (International Association of Language Centres). Regular and strict onsite inspections guarantee a high level of quality.
A choice of 2 locations
Good Hope Studies offers you a choice of two locations: either the suburb of Newlands or the City Centre:
The language school in Newlands offers a unique setting in a quiet, green residential area with gardens and swimming pools, yet it is very close to shopping areas and public transport.
The City Centre school is located in an up-market office building in a pedestrian area. At the same time you are right in the heart of Cape Town, able to enjoy this vibrant city.
Big AND small
Good Hope Studies is one of the biggest English language schools in South Africa. Our size enables us to offer our own student residence, student house, student bus and a varied entertainment programme. However instead of one big language school we operate 3 different premises, each with a maximum capacity of about 70 students. A smaller student number at each language school premises allows us to offer you very personal, individual attention and to accommodate your special needs.
A very special atmosphere
Students often comment that they especially enjoy the relaxed, yet professional atmosphere at Good Hope Studies - where it is both fun to learn and to meet people.
Over 50 nationalities
Good Hope Studies receives students from over 50 countries each year. We can therefore offer a student nationality mix that is unusual for Cape Town.
An own teacher training programme
Good Hope Studies runs the internationally recognised teacher training course, CELTA (Certificate in English Teaching to Adults). This allows us to train our own teachers as well as develop the English language learning industry in Cape Town.
Almost all English language teachers at Good Hope Studies have at least a CELTA certificate and many years of teaching experience.
The best quality at a reasonable price
Comparing us with other language schools you will find that we offer very competitive, well priced packages. Our focus is on making sure that you enjoy Cape Town to its fullest and, most importantly, that you get the maximum benefit from your language learning experience. We thus strive to offer you the best quality at the most reasonable cost.
