Our school and the courses we run are well suited to a more mature clientele, who are particularly interested in immersing into our city and its people. To meet the increasing demand for 50+ Language Students, Kurus English has developed a special programme for this specific age group.

Our Language Excursions constitute the heart of Kurus English besides the ever important language classes: Because of our unique network, students are immersed in diverse cultures of Cape Town, providing them with opportunities to converse with the fascinating people of the city. Should the conversation ever begin to flag, our teachers will be at our students’ side to assist them. Themes change weekly, defining the language-learning concept with regards to content and ensuring exciting and meaningful personal encounters.

You helped me find answers to so many of my questions about CT!

One thing I can say is that I feel more comfortable and natural speaking English.

I had a great time with you guys.  I won’t forget you anytime soon.
