When summer arrives in Switzerland, something magical happens. Alpine meadows burst into colour, lake shores fill with swimmers and sailors, and cities come alive with festivals, markets, and warm evening light. For young people between 10 and 20, there is no better place to spend the summer and no better way to experience it than with Swiss Education Academy.
A Country Like No OtherÂ
Switzerland in summer is a playground for the curious. Hikers tackle trails above Leysin and Montreux with the Alps stretching endlessly around them. Swimmers dive into the crystal-clear waters of Lake Geneva. Visitors wander the medieval arcades of Bern, discover the international soul of Geneva, and soak in the glamour of Montreux, home to the world-famous Jazz Festival every July.
Culture is never far away. The Olympic Museum in Lausanne, the fairy-tale Chillon Castle rising from Lake Geneva, the vineyards of the Lavaux (a UNESCO World Heritage site), every excursion feels like a lesson in itself. And with the Alps as a backdrop, even an afternoon walk becomes an adventure.
Learn, Explore, Grow with SEAÂ
At Swiss Education Academy, we design our summer programmes so that Switzerland itself becomes part of the curriculum. Students spend their mornings in engaging, skill-building classes and their afternoons discovering one of the world’s most extraordinary countries.
Swiss Language Camp — Leysin (ages 10–16) High in the Vaud Alps, students immerse themselves in English, French, German and Digital Language while exploring mountain villages, visiting Swiss cities, and building friendships with peers from over 76 nationalities.
Swiss Business & Hospitality Camp — Montreux (ages 16–20) Set on Lake Geneva’s legendary Riviera, this programme introduces older teenagers to the world of luxury hospitality and business management in the country that invented it.
Swiss Culinary Camp — Le Bouveret (ages 16–20) At the foot of the Valais Alps and right on the lake shore, aspiring young chefs discover Swiss, European and Intenational culinary traditions in one of the most food-rich regions of the continent.
All three programmes run weekly from 28 June to 15 August 2026.
A Summer They’ll Never Forget  Â
Students who spend their summer with SEA come home with more than new skills. They come home with a broader worldview, lasting friendships, and memories of a country that has a way of staying with you long after you’ve left.
