Length of courses
Courses take place during the summer months of July and August. The minimum length of stay is 2 weeks and the maximum stay is 8 weeks. The contents and programs are prepared for children from the age of 12 to 17 years. Children up to the age of 14 are accompanied by an adult when transportation is needed.Daily program
The daily program is made up of lessons, sports and cultural activities. Children are always supervised by a teacher.
Afternoon and evening activities
After the morning classes, there is a lunch break followed by afternoon programs such as day trips, a visit to the cinema, dancing, swimming at a pool, or various sporting activities including rowing, tennis, football or volleyball.
Accommodation
Children are accommodated either with a host family or in a residence hall. Each kind of accommodation has its own advantages. With a host family, children are acquainted with everyday life during their stay as they learn about local customs, regional food, and do activities during their free time that are typical for that country and region. If staying in a residence hall, children meet other children of the same age and often make life-long friends.
Weekend program
During the weekends, there is usually an entire day trip planned for Saturdays. These destinations are places of interest such as historical towns or theme parks near the school. On Sunday, children stay with their host family or in the residence hall with other students and may choose doing a sporting activity or spend the day relaxing with a book.
Full board
During the entire stay, children share breakfast and dinner with their host family and receive a packed lunch at school Please note that in some schools, hot meals at noon are available in the school canteen.
