EC Cape Town opened in 2002 and is part of EC English Holdings, which runs schools in the USA, UK, Ireland, Canada and Malta. Its published student mix is the strongest validation on this site for Gulf families: Saudi Arabia is the single largest nationality at 25%, ahead of Brazil at 17% and Switzerland at 9%. The school explicitly offers homestays that can prepare halal food. General English 20 starts around €345 per week for short bookings, and the Academic Semester or Year programme — designed for 24 to 48 week stays, which is exactly the 6 to 12 month bracket most Gulf students book — runs at about €240 per week.
