Semi-Intensive Course

South African host-families are well known for their friendliness and hospitality. Your “host-family” could be a single woman, an older couple or a young couple with children. Either way, staying with a family will give you a unique insight into the South African lifestyle.

In Newlands, Good Hope Studies is the only major English Language school. We therefore have a large number of high quality families available. In the city centre, the number of good quality families is limited. Late bookings might therefore result in longer travel times.

You may book a single or double room and your family will supply you with breakfast and dinner. Travel distance to the school is very short, with only a few families living as far as 45 minutes from the school. In the southern suburbs, all host-families stay in private houses with gardens.
