Liked
The school is situated in the heart of Cape Town, near various amenities such as shops, restaurants, supermarkets, souvenir shops, and currency exchange offices. The staff is incredibly attentive and always willing to assist with our needs. The teachers are friendly and dedicated.
Disliked
I believe there is a need for a common area, such as a games and music room, where students can interact after classes.
