Founded in 1991 and based at 66 Main Road in Claremont, this school charges a flat ZAR 1,580 per week for General English at 15 lessons a week, quoted in 4, 8 and 12 week blocks. That is roughly a third of what the premium schools charge, which makes a 12 month stay realistic on a modest budget. It is accredited with English South Africa and registered with QCTO, DHET and SATSA. Two details matter for Gulf families in particular: host families can prepare halal food, and there is a mosque two minutes from the school on foot. The nationality mix is unusually even, with no single nationality above 5%, so students are forced to speak English rather than falling back on Arabic.
General English, 15 lessons per week, flat rate with no duration discount. Published in ZAR (R1,580/week) and converted at roughly 18 ZAR/USD.
Saudi Arabia is the largest single nationality at about 4%, in a mixed intake where no nationality exceeds 5%. Halal homestay meals on request and a mosque two minutes away on foot.
Claremont is a busy southern-suburbs shopping and student district on the train line, with malls, clinics and restaurants within walking distance.
