Academy for kids 'n' teens

Our goal

Everything is in English – as if the child were abroad in an English-speaking country! The academy builds on the principles of outdoor education and facilitates learning the English language through extensive exposure to the language. All teachers are native speakers and experienced English teachers. With a lot of enthusiasm and creativity, they offer the kids and teens the opportunity of learning and improving their English in a relaxed and playful atmosphere.

Our program

1st-8th grade: The academy offers a diverse program consisting of language instruction, sport, games, arts and crafts, cooking, music and theatre (depending on the age of the children). This facilitates learning the English language through extensive exposure to the language. The Big Finish on Friday at 3:00 p.m. concludes the academy with the kids and teens holding little presentations. All parents, siblings and friends are cordially invited to be there.

9th-10th grade: The program for the 9th and 10th grade will pay special attention to the individual needs of the participants. In a relaxed atmosphere their English knowledge can be brushed up, deepened and improved. This program is also suitable for exam-preparation, because individual requirements can be catered to. 9th and 10th graders will be put into separate groups. (10th grade Realschule: please take note of the Eurocom/Mittlere Reife courses).

Who can participate?

All kids and teens from 1st grade on who like the English language and want to gain insights into another culture and make new friends. The academy spans all types of schools and is suitable for kids and teens from 1st grade onwards, regardless of whether they speak no English at all or whether they are already fluent.

Events
