“The Good Hope Studies School in Newlands was the perfect place for me to improve my English. The lessons are interesting and the classes are kept rather small so that any weaknesses can be considered. The management is also incredibly friendly and helpful. The school offers interesting excursions every week so that I could experience a lot in the first few weeks... I will never forget this time, like the people I have met.”

"I’m 65. The first time I came to this school it was 26 years ago, and I am proud to say that I was one of the first students they had. I strongly recommend this school to all who wants to reach the highest level in this language, because all the staff members and teachers are extremely professional and helpful.
Last but not the least, the weather is awesome and  the food is fantastic."

“For what I’ve seen and experienced so far, the COVID-19 situation is under control, also thanks to the behavior of the polulation and not only due to restrictions. Being here is like living in a different world. Honestly, I feel like I am part of a big family at this school. Everyone is friendly and more impoartantly, they really do care about you.“

„The class method helped me a lot in learning and although I only stayed for 2 weeks due to the delay in the trip and the pandemic, I was very satisfied and I am already using what I learned in my daily life. I loved the city that I found very safe and attractive. I highly recommend the city and the school.”
