Join our school of English in Cape Town
Cape Town is one of the world’s best beach cities, with natural beauty, an energetic, multi-cultural community, world-class food, long summers and a vibrant nightlife. This is the capital of a former British colony, ideal for English language learning and unique travel opportunities.
First of all, our school of English in Cape Town is located in the trendy and vibrant suburb of Sea Point, only a few minutes from the promenade, where you can walk, jog, cycle or just sit and enjoy one of the many glorious sunsets shimmering across the ocean.
Equally important, the famous Victoria and Albert Waterfront is a classic area where the city meets the sea. With its cosmopolitan range of cultural and historic hubs, it also offers a multitude of leisure opportunities. Learn English in Cape Town and shop till you drop, eat like a king and book those once-in-a-lifetime South African experiences. There is nowhere quite like Cape Town. Everyone who visits always returns!
Our school of English in Cape Town simply could not be in a better location. Everything you need is on your doorstep! You can be on top of a mountain, lying on a beach or just chilling in a bar within minutes. It’s a place where cultures come together and you can be part of that.
Additionally, LAL Cape Town occupies a beautiful heritage building, offering a real all-in-one campus setting – eat, sleep, socialise and learn English in Cape Town, all under one roof. With all the facilities you need, there’s no school in Cape Town like ours. We also offer English courses in Cape Town for Young Learners. Join us and live the dream!

The English courses and teachers were funny. All staff is very kind, smiled and prepared to help. I was satisfied and felt like at home. The food in lunch was really tasty.
I thank all the staff of LAL School for my language stay in Cape Town. Teachers are very good and school facilities such as internet connection, activities and the food are satisfactory.
I’d like to take this time to say something about the time I spent in Cape Town, especially the accommodation. Even if my host family is away from here by walking, Ms Bev Lucraft and her mother are friendly and they did everything they could to look after me. I recommend to the LAL to choose that host family to the others students because it is a good stay.
Teachers are good at English and they gave me all English I’m looking for and other facilities to succeed. I’ll recommend other students to take part in LAL.
It could be in Portuguese, but I preferred to challenge myself and write my testimonial in English. I had Intensive English and it was four lovely weeks in LAL School. It was really good for me to interact with teachers and other schoolmates. My host mother, Bev and her mom were the best people that I met in Cape Town. I really felt at home. I will miss our conversation. Bev was a really mother for me . I have to say thanks for that.
I want to improve my English that’s why I’ve been staying for one month at LAL. It was a good experience because I met people from different countries, new friends and I can practice English everyday.
Cape Town is a lovely place, I really enjoy it. The teachers in LAL teach well and they are so cool. The staff in the school is also sociable. Concerning my accommodation, I like it, my room is clean and has enough space even I shared it.
I enjoyed my stay, I learned many cultures, to talk to many students from different nations, besides just studying English. It’s a good experience.
