International House (IH)
“IH Cape Town is often referred to as the IH family by many of our students as the atmosphere amongst them is so special and students make friends for life. During their time here they explore all the wonderful sights and join our fun social activities. I also enjoy interacting with them during our monthly student parties and meeting interesting people from all over the world. I am from the UK and visited Cape Town in 1995 as a tourist, fell in love with the country and never left again. 10 years ago we then opened this school in a superb location in Sea Point right by the sea which is definitely a great selling point for us. Our staff and teachers are very dedicated and hard-working and always try to find solutions to any problems that may arise. ”–Gavin Eyre,Director of International House
