Kurus English is a new, language school in Cape Town, which combines innovative

Authentic language texts are provided and pre-taught for these excursions. We enter into the very fabric of Cape Town and its society, providing students with opportunities for learning English, and also expanding cultural competence as an important social skill.

Mission statement: 
Our goal is to combine learning English with building meaningful awareness of cultural diversity. This can be achieved by mixing classroom-based English lessons with an integrated and practical cultural discovery programme. In short, Kurus English will offer a morning class which aims to develop and improve international English competence. Here, classroom-based courses, with the necessary skills, grammar and vocabulary, will be integrated with a Language Excursion in the afternoon. This will be our most significant differentiator from already existing schools in Cape Town

Language Excursions

 

 


Our goal is to combine learning English with building meaningful awareness of cultural diversity. We offer weekly Language Excursion themes, which include: Food and Cuisine; Spirituality; Work and Business; Science and Technology; Freedom and Responsibility and Media and Expression. The themes change every week for a period of 12 weeks. During the Language Excursion (minimum 2 and maximum 3 afternoons per week) the students are accompanied by our teachers, who become your language guide, promoting, encouraging and linking language practice and discovery through cultural, historical and social excursions, visiting, meeting and communicating with relevant and informed people in Cape Town.

 

 


The Language Excursions are flexible and coordinate with actual events in Cape Town, when possible and/or desirable. These excursions give the students the unique opportunity to improve their English while meaningfully encountering the people, the energy and the diversity of Cape Town.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Accommodation: Host Family

 

 


We recommend staying with a Host Family in Cape Town. It gives you the occasion for additional language opportunities while living in an English-speaking environment. We have a fine network of selected, progressive and open-minded Host Families who will make you feel at home and who will give you an additional opportunity to experience Cape Town, its culture and its people.
