LOOKING TO WORK OVERSEAS? LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE WITH DANTE DURBAN TO HELP YOU OPEN MANY DOORS IN YOUR CAREER
T
he story of Dante Durban is a success story that began 15 years ago and has benefitted many students in our city, allowing them smooth access to university to further their studying and careers. One such student is Laura De Villiers, who, after studying Spanish online for a year, passed her Spanish IEB with merit. In 2022 Laura will spend a month in Barcelona on a fully paid bursary attending a partnered language school of Dante where she will have the opportunity to perfect her Spanish and enjoy their lifestyle. “Studying online with Dante has been an amazing experience! I’m totally immersed in the Spanish language, and have enjoyed
the lessons with my nativespeaking teacher, Rocio. In fact, when I was interviewed with the Spanish academic institution for the bursary, I could confidently express myself in Spanish,” says Laura. “I have now started my academic path at UCT in Cape Town and have chosen Spanish as one of my subjects. As my level was already so high, I did not have to put in much effort to achieve a distinction.” Dante is currently preparing 21 online and inperson students for IEB and Cambridge (both IGCSE and AS level) exams in Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German, as well as teaching foreign languages to more than 6 000 students in Africa. In addition, Dante also

teaches Japanese, Russian and Mandarin, among the other languages. Kimmyka, a Japanese student, has recently completed her JLCAT exam thanks to a sponsorship by the Japanese Government that partners with Dante, and will soon be heading off to the Land of the Rising Sun. “By choosing a language course with Dante, there’s no need to worry about your or your child’s future. Dante is a promising foundation for a successful future,” says Kimmyka who is ready to start her professional path in Japan.” “We have many projects we are developing with the local community,” says the Teaching Co-ordinator of Dante, Giulia De Lorenzi. “We are working with educational institutions to make education more accessible. Co-operation includes scholarships, students and team member exchanges, as well as profit sharing with schools. Indeed, I take this opportunity to invite interested schools to contact us because we have many opportunities for scholarships for 2021 and 2022 which will expire soon.”
