Avenue English is a private English-language school founded in July 2011 by Vivi van Ketel, originally in Johannesburg, and now operating campuses in Rivonia, Sandton (Johannesburg) and De Waterkant, Green Point (Cape Town), as well as online private tuition. The school specialises in English-language instruction for international students, offering conversation-focused, communicative learning from beginner to advanced levels in small classes (maximum 12 students). It is not a registered higher education institution offering CHE/DHET-accredited degrees or diplomas; rather, its credentials are language-teaching sector affiliations: it is a Quality English (QE) Associate School, a bonded member of the South Africa Tourism Services Association (SATSA), and a member of the English South Africa (ESA) organisation. No CHE, DHET, or SAQA registration is stated anywhere on the site.
