PROJECT INTRODUCTION
Cape Town, South Africa—a place that has been a sanctuary for many throughout history! Start studying English in Cape Town, South Africa's largest port and resort city. In the quiet and peaceful daily life of Cape Town, as you focus solely on yourself and enjoy leisure to the fullest, you will be able to improve your English skills as much as you desire.
Striking rocky mountains, lush forests, white-capped Atlantic waves, and a high, clear sky—these are all natural landscapes you can easily find in everyday life in Cape Town.
Escape the hectic and chaotic daily routine and begin a quiet and leisurely life. At a school located in a peaceful and secure residential area of Cape Town, you can enjoy a spacious garden and swimming pool, and enjoy a relaxed healing experience.
Look forward to a Cape Town lifestyle where you can rest and recover to your heart's content! Through this healing time, you'll recharge with the energy needed to move forward.
Newlands, located about 15 minutes by car from downtown Cape Town, is a residential area where you can enjoy a peaceful atmosphere close to green nature. There are many large and small parks around the school, and the proximity to Table Mountain National Park allows you to enjoy the beautiful botanical gardens and hiking trails through the dense forest. Moreover, since it is a quiet space where locals live, rather than a tourist destination crowded with travelers, you can study in an environment that allows you to focus comfortably.
This project is recommended for students who want to focus quietly on studying English and achieve results beyond expectations! A new life of studying hard and enjoying peaceful rest is waiting for you.
To achieve a successful language study experience, it is important to find a school that strives for the students. This language school makes every effort to help students grow and ensures that their time in Cape Town becomes the best experience possible.
Through continuous evaluation and feedback, the school monitors students' progress and sets learning goals together, while also offering various teaching methods to satisfy students' needs and interests. Moreover, with teachers who help students actively participate in class, students can easily get accustomed to using English and grow quickly.
The greatest advantage of this language school is that the number of students per class does not exceed 10. With small classes of 5 to 8 students, teachers can focus on each student and give them sufficient attention. This way, the school can accurately assess the students' English proficiency and fill in the necessary areas. If you want to focus even more on studying English, try choosing an additional private lesson! With one-on-one sessions with enthusiastic teachers, you can complement your weaknesses, maximize your strengths, and improve your English skills.
Start studying in Cape Town, where you can enjoy learning English! As much as you want, your English skills will improve, and your confidence will grow as well.
When people think of Africa, they often imagine vast savannahs, wild animals, and landscapes shared with indigenous people. However, in the real Africa, you can encounter a much more diverse culture and people than we know. Set off for Cape Town right now to experience the Africa we didn't know.
This project offers the opportunity to live with local residents in Cape Town! By choosing a homestay during the language study period, you can vividly experience the real life of South African locals up close. You will enjoy African food, culture, lifestyle, and customs along with Cape Town residents—experiences that can only be seen and felt locally in Africa.
Come and experience a wider world in Cape Town, South Africa, and find an opportunity to gain a new perspective on the world.

LOCATION INTRODUCTION
Location: Cape Town, South Africa
Cape Town, the capital of South Africa, is one of the most reassuring travel destinations in Africa for visitors from around the world.

Recommended Attractions
01 Table Mountain
Table Mountain, famous for its sheer cliffs and flat peak, is one of South Africa’s most iconic landmarks. The Table Mountain cable car, which rotates 360 degrees, is a popular tourist attraction in itself. The cable car offers stunning views of the mountains, sea, and cityscape, and takes just 5 minutes to reach the top of Table Mountain.
02 Cape of Good Hope
Named the Cape of Good Hope because it was believed that passing this point would lead to a sea route to the Indian subcontinent, this rocky promontory is often mistaken for the southernmost point of the African continent, although the true southern tip is at Agulhas. The Cape of Good Hope, which reflects the history of Europe and Africa, is one of the most beloved travel destinations in Africa today.
03 V&A Waterfront
Located at the oldest harbor in South Africa, the V&A Waterfront is a mixed-use commercial area. Set against the backdrop of Table Mountain, the V&A Waterfront is one of the most visited tourist spots in Africa.
