- Excellent rating of teaching quality
The International English School (TIES)
- The International English School is located on the outskirts of the second-most popular city in South Africa, Cape Town. Between the foothills of Table Mountain and the South Atlantic Ocean, Cape Town has a unique location that has assisted in it becoming a "must-see" destination for students and tourists alike. The International English school is housed on the Main Road of Somerset West, some 48 kilometres from Cape Town City centre, in a nice residential area, surrounded by shops, eateries, restaurants and within a 12-minute walk of the Somerset West Train Station. The facilities of the school are excellent, including a library, fridge and microwave use for students, and a Student Support Desk for any questions or queries that may arise. All classrooms are equipped with heating, ...air conditioning and have ample natural light to create an optimal learning environment. Course selection includes something for General English students of all levels, as well as for Teachers of English as a Foreign Language. Courses are available in groups, with private tuition also available independently or in conjunction with a group programme. Homestay accommodation is available through the school, with many options within walking distance of the school. The outdoor activities and excursions of the region are a real attraction to students.
