The school is only 20 minutes from the centre of London and it is located in a quiet and typical English area. From the very first moment I arrived, I got along very well with my classmates and teachers. Lessons are structured in such a way as all students from different age and level can improve their communication skills very well.
My favourite place in Cape Town is Lion’s Head where I can walk from the school. I’ve been there several times for the sunrise and sunset, which have, incidentally, been some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets in my life.
I have been here for almost six months and it was the best experience of my life, because I’ve met a lot of people and from different countries. They are very friendly and lovely, not just the students but the staff and teachers as well.
I went with LAL to Key West. We sailed for six hours! During this time, we did a lot of activities like snorkelling, parasailing, jet-skiing, banana boat, and swimming of course. We had a great time there and I would definitely recommend it!
I learnt how to express myself, how to listen, how to write and to believe in myself. I sincerely think that LAL is a good school, and all of the teachers are so kind, good listeners and understanding. The teachers get along with all of the students.
I instantly fell in love with Malta. I love swimming and sunbathing at the very beautiful beaches however my favourite activity on the island is actually shopping! I would recommend IELS to anyone who would like to learn English in an amazing atmosphere.
The wait is finally coming to an end! From September 1st 2020 our schools in Cape Town and London will, again, open their doors to our students.
With all safety measures in place, we can’t wait to have you back.
