Welcome to the brand new Ardmore Global Education Centre in South Africa!
2015 sees our new facility come online at Shamwari game reserve just 11/2 hours from Port Elizabeth. Formerly a 4* Safari lodge, the Global Education Centre (GEC) is Ardmore’s brand new base for our signature experiences, including English & Wildlife, conservation and community projects. The GEC is available all year round for closed groups and hosts an Ardmore English language summer school throughout July and into August. But hurry, spaces are strictly limited.

A TYPICAL DAY WITH ARDMOREStudents have three hours of English lessons per day from Tuesday to Saturday. Lessons will be taught in English and based around wildlife and conservation. Students will also learn African culture, sustainability of planet Earth and local community life as well as life in less privileged communities.
During activities we offer a wide range of options depending on season and wildlife activity. These can include leopard tracking, rhino monitoring, visiting the Born Free Big Cat Sanctuary, medicinal plants and tree identification, animal behaviour and approach, an introduction to conservation management or a full day excursion to Port Elizabeth.
The evening entertainment includes: pool party, fireside story telling, African dance, film night, evening observation and many more options.
Emphasis on communication helps students to use English for a variety of purposes and in various situations. Our aim is to build students’ knowledge and confidence in understanding and speaking English and their understanding of the world we live in.
