"I have seen the possibilities and power of English through IH teachers and students from all over."

Elena Galakhova, student from Russia

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!

Dear Elena

WOW! Thank you SO very much for this incredible review! Students like you, are what makes what we do, worth while. Thank you for noticing the dedication and passion that our staff and teachers bring to the school every day.
We are always so happy to hear that we were able to contribute, even in the smallest way, to someone's journey and growth!
We wish you only the best Elena, you know we will always be here for you!

"Feels like home"

William Dias Morais

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.

"It has been the best experience of my life!"

Margherita Carraro

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.

"Truly enjoyed my interning experience at IH Cape Town"

Kenneth Deckers

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.

There were many activities also visiting table mountain for example. And, I'd like the availability of my host family during my stay.

"My experiences at Ih were absolutely amazing, I had so much fun and met so many great people"

Naira Raiza de Jesus Abasse

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.

"IH has been one of the most important and interesting experience in my life. My English has improved a lot, because the teachers of IH give the love of English and they know how to teach so that you can speak, write etc in English. In my opinion, you cannot regret that."

Laura Priscilia Mbazo'o

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.

"Perfect equipment, perfect teachers, super organisation and a wonderful atmosphere"

Markus

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.

"Cape Town is a magical city & I have never had such a great time as I'm having right now"

Behzad Bagheri

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.

"It was the best experience of my life"

Gustavo Braga

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!
