I had such a great time here! I met amazing people, had great teachers and I learnt a lot. Volunteering at the Women’s Refuge in the afternoon was one of the highlights of my stay. Cape Town was a perfect place for this experience.

The teachers are very supportive and ensure that everyone reaches its full potential. Good Hope Studies helped me with my Visa extension which I probably would have never gotten all by myself. They offer several excursions, there‘s something for everyone!
