Avenue English Cape Town

De Waterkant, Cape Town

Quality English accredited school with published weekly rates that drop the longer you stay, and regular Saudi and Gulf groups.

“Dear Vivi, I am writing to express all my gratitude and love that I will feel forever for this school. I wanted you to know that Avenue English easily became my favorite place (even with so many beautiful places here) because the school always was full of the kindest, most caring and loving people I've ever met. Thank you so much for the opportunity to develop so much and broaden my worldview. I'll always remember this months with all my soul. With love (and "saudade")”Bea Valente · Brazil
