Homestay Accommodation

The homestay fee is very reasonable (incl. breakfast & dinner, airport transfers and laundry). The rules governing the homestay with the families will be made available to the student by the host.

All homestay fees need to be paid in advance. Foreign transfers take +/- 1 week and there is a bank transfer fee. If the student’s homestay fees are not available in advance, the student is required to leave the family and find their own accommodation.

Refund Policy

On registration, a 1-month school fee is due. This fee will be used for the first month of school once the student arrives and starts classes.

If the student cancels and does not attend, an admin fee of R1500.00 applies.

A refund is only issued if the Embassy rejects the visa application, for which we require proof or return of the Original Letter of Acceptance.

Student Code of Conduct

Aim: To create a positive learning environment for all participants.

• Respect the teacher and other students.
• Attend class at specified times.
• Bring any grievances to the attention of the teacher.
• Abnormal class disturbances will follow disciplinary procedures.
• All electronic devices must be off unless the teacher instructs otherwise.
• No food allowed in classes except on teacher-approved occasions.
• Keep classrooms neat and tidy; use the refuse bins.
• Be polite and considerate to trainee teachers during observations.

Any breach will first be handled by the teacher; if unresolved, it will be referred to the Cape Town School of English Student Management Committee. The decision will be binding.
