Learn English in the beautiful beach neighbourhood of Summerstrand! You'll find a small shopping centre, restaurants, cafés and bars just 5 minutes’ walk from the school. The course centre includes 6 spacious and bright classrooms, a kitchen, a lounge with ping-pong and pool tables and a large garden with sea views. In the summer months, some classes may be held in the school's garden. The nearest beach is located just 200 metres away, which means students can enjoy surfing and swimming right after class! What's more, the barbecues organised at the school provide a great opportunity to socialise with your fellow students from all over the world.

Ma famille était super. Je n’aurais pu tomber mieux. Ils étaient adorables, habitaient une belle maison, ayant une situation idyllique pour moi étant surfeuse, j’avais ma propre porte d’entrée, cuisine et salle de bain étant logée dans une sorte de petit bungalow. Ma maman d’accueil était une excellente cuisinière, les enfants très bien éduqués et l’ambiance familiale générale était incroyable.

« Il faut aller en excursion chaque WE en dehors de Port Elizabeth afin de découvrir d’autres aspects de l’Afrique du Sud. Il est préférable d’organiser ses propres excursions en se mettant avec d’autres étudiants afin d’économiser beaucoup d’argent. Jeffrey Bay est à voir absolument si l’on est surfeur et même juste pour y être allé une fois. »

Eine wirklich schöne Reise, aber alleine als Frau war es nicht so einfach. Man ist schon etwas eingeschränkt, gewöhnt sich aber mit der Zeit daran. Ich hatte das Glück und war nur zu zweit in einer Anfängerklasse. Würde aber jedem empfehlen, zuvor sich einige Sprachkenntnisse anzueignen. War manchmal schon ein bisschen überfordert als absoluter Anfänger. Sehr geduldige Lehrer. Durch die kleine Schule sehr familiär. Die Unterkunft verdient den Namen Residenz nicht. Ist in einem sehr alten Trakt des Hotels. Küche war unbrauchbar und sehr ungepflegt. Zimmer mehr als in die Jahre gekommen. Schmutzig. Es wurde nach 9 Tagen das erste mal gereinigt und die Badetücher gewechselt. Dies nach 4 mal nachfragen. Sauber war er auch danach nicht. Unter das Bett schaut man besser nicht. Im Bad schimmelte es sehr stark.An der Rezeption sind sie sehr unmotiviert und unfreundlich. Ein super, hilfsbereites Team. Sabrina war eine richtige Perle, die in allen bereichen sehr hilfbereit war. Obwohl ich die älteste an der Schule war, war dies überhaupt kein Problem. Wurde von den Jungen sehr nett und freundlich aufgenommen!

Port Elizabeth est une petite ville de bord de mer très agréable avec beaucoup d'activitées à faire aux alentours. La chambre dans la résidence étudiante est très spacieuse mais nécessite une remise à neuf. La résidence étudiante est partagée avec les étudiants étrangers de l'université ce qui permet de rencontrer d'autres personnes pour pratiquer l'anglais. La cuisine partagée manque d'ustensils de cuisine. Une personne est là pour proposer et organiser les activitées durant la semaine et le week-end. On peut également proposer si l'on souhaite faire une activitée en particulier.

Testimonials

Gaetan Buscaglia
Gaetan Buscaglia
The Bay Language Institute, Port Elizabeth
Duration: 4 weeks

The rainbow nation is a wonderful country that I recommend visiting. The city of Port Elizabeth is is perfectly located to explore the area, whether it be going west with the Garden Route or going east by the Wild Coast. Wonderful experiences await you on the way, whether it be beautiful landscapes, safaris to look for the Big Five or meeting the local population, which is very friendly. Actually, Port Elizabeth is nicknamed the “Friendly city”!
As far as the school is concerned it’s like a big family. Everybody knows each other very well and the teachers are nice and helpful. The school organizes activities and it is possible to book the ones you want to do.. The English classes are very well organized and varied, so I was able to quickly make progress in English.

Shared apartment (with host family)
This accommodation option combines the perks of host family and residence accommodation. You’ll stay in your own single room, and might share the bathroom and the kitchen with one or two people. All apartments are a maximum of 2.5 km away from the school. Wi-Fi is free and a weekly cleaning service is included. Living with a host will give you the opportunity to enjoy Port Elizabeth like a local, without losing your independence!

Brewer House residence
Just a 10-minute walk will bring you from this upscale residence to the language school and the beach! You’ll enjoy elegantly decorated en suite single rooms (doubles available for students travelling together), complete with bed linens and towels, a fridge with a minibar, a TV, tea- and coffee-making facilities and free Wi-Fi. The guest area includes a fully equipped kitchen, and continental breakfast is available for purchase. Extra perks include an attractive swimming pool surrounded by a large garden and terrace – enjoy a luxurious stay!

Numerous activities are offered by the school. Port Elizabeth is famous for water sports and offers surfing & diving in dream spots. And what would you say to going whale watching? There's nothing better than a safari or an excursion to the world-famous Addo Elephant National Park to discover the splendid nature of Africa. The "Big Five" (elephants, rhinoceros, buffalo, lions and leopards) await you... your camera is a must! Take weekend trips to the Wild Coast for a “real” African experience, the Karoo semi-desert to explore fossils and experience the vast, open plains and incredible star-gazing, or Tsitisikamma/Garden Route for the world’s highest bungy jump and great coastal scenery.
