The German language courses are orientated and based on 4 of the 6 levels defined in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (A1, A2, B1, and B2). A grading test will be conducted on the first day of teaching and each student will receive an individual performance certificate at the end of the course.
During the day, students will participate in language classes and either activity sessions or excursions depending on the schedule. On-site activity sessions include: football, beach volleyball, mountain biking, climbing, archery, outdoor education/teambuilding and traditional German activities such as Biathlon, Headies or KinBal. In the evening, students can participate in various activities. Examples include: welcome games, movie night, BBQ and bonfire, sports nights or various workshops.
