Your learning experience
What to expect
Would you like to have fun while learning a foreign language? Our qualified and experienced teachers combine classwork with practical exercises to optimize the learning experience.
Classes take place in the mornings, with a variety of exciting activities and excursions scheduled in the afternoons and evenings. Each week a new activity package is available so that you can discover new destinations, sports, and experiences – and make new friends for life.
At the end of your stay, you will receive a certificate, a great asset for when you begin on your career!
Chose a language - English, French or German
At the Swiss Language Club, we give you the opportunity to live an unforgettable experience by learning a language and combining it with activities, excursions and a lot of fun. You have the possibility to chose one language per week. We offer French, English and German courses. Should you decide to stay several weeks, you can decide to learn one language per week and therefore enrich your horizon by learning several languages during your stay.
Note that during the day, although our staff speaks several languages, English tends to be common language at the camp.
Course outline
Classes take place in the mornings, Monday to Friday, in the form of four 45-minute lessons, for a total of 20 lessons per week. Our team of qualified and experienced teachers combines classwork with practical exercises to make best use of our unique teaching settings.
Before your arrival, you will be asked to take an online test that will help us determine your level and assign you to the correct group. With your teacher's agreement, you can change your level group within the first two days of class. We welcome all students, from beginner to advanced speaker.
At Swiss Education Academy camps, be inspired and filled with enthusiasm from day one, by the great atmosphere that makes up the camp life. An ideal setting for you to enjoy learning a foreign language.
Teaching methods
Teachers are encouraged to use flexible and diverse teaching methods and techniques, making sure to fit the group and the specific needs of each student, covering a large range of topics and subjects. The small number of students per group (average of 12) makes it easier to ensure every student's progress. Teachers have access to a wide array of equipment and accessories to help them create fun and interactive classes.
Your stay at the Swiss Education Academy camp will certainly help you with your language skills. Your progress will also depend on your personal investment and your motivation. The exceptional atmosphere of our courses will help you learn and make progress in a relaxed environment!
Teaching facilities
Our teaching facilities offer great teaching and learning conditions. Classrooms have been renovated and equipped with state of the art multimedia devices.
Certificates

Excursions
Every Saturday, students who are staying at Swiss Education Academy another week go on a day long excursion.
Excursion destinations are alternated. The following are our destination examples:
The city of Bern
Bern, the Swiss capital, is a historical city where an afternoon of shopping turns into a cultural landmark visit. It is renowned for its BearPark and the Parliament building, that hosts the federal government.
Cailler chocolate factory
Imagine yourself in a place where all your senses can be used to discover the delicious world of Cailler chocolate. Discover the chocolate making process of the famous Cailler treats and of course, taste them! Made from the best cocoa beans, local milk and other delicious ingredients that will most certainly guarantee a pleasurable discovery. The visit then takes you to the nearby village of Gruyere.
Evening activities
The evening is the best time of the day to relax, have fun, and enjoy the atmosphere of the program. Activities include an evening by the lake, a Casino Night, a talent show, Olympiads, cinema nights and karaoke. Evening activities are optional, however, they are a great bonding opportunity as well as an integral part of community life.
