Language programs for foreign students are organized by educational institutions in many European countries - the Czech Republic, Germany, England, America, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Malta, Switzerland and many others. Each of these places has its own atmosphere and unique sights. Also, some states offer foreign students to study not only English, but also French or German.

Studying at foreign language camps and schools during sprring has certain advantages:

• At this time of year, the tourist flow is below the average. Students wishing to go abroad will not have problems with obtaining a visa and buying air tickets to the country of study and back at a bargain price
• Foreign students will be able to join the celebration of European holidays falling out for this period of the year - for example, Catholic Easter. Streets are amazingly decorated, chocolate hares and eggs are sold everywhere, and that's not all! Participation in such an action will be remembered for a long time
• Studying abroad allows to get new acquaintances - in the language camp your child will communicate with peers from different countries and will be able to make friends around the world. In addition, due to international environment, students learn tolerance and the art of international communication
• Spring vacation abroad is an excellent "probe" for children and parents who only think about the option of studying abroad. The standard vacation programme (1-2 weeks) will be enough to understand how much the child likes to stay in another country and whether this format of studying suits him.

Spring language programs in Europe are usually organized on the basis of private schools or boarding houses. For children, schoolchildren, teenagers and students, the necessary conditions for comfortable living and studying are created here. Campuses of foreign schools are very well equipped: there are various sports grounds, cozy classrooms with interactive equipment, sometimes a swimming pool or a library, necessarily computer classes and Internet throughout the territory.

International language schools abroad offer several types of studying programs:

• The "Language + Leisure" programme is a course where students will combine studying English (or French) in the morning with various activities in the second half of a day - sports, creative and entertaining
• The programme "Language + Sport" - this course is perfect for students who are accustomed to spend a considerable part of their time in sports activities. Students can not only do their favorite sports, but also try themselves in other physical activities. Spring camps abroad offer a choice of lessons on horseriding, tennis, football, rock climbing, swimming and so on. The listed classes are held in parallel with the study of a foreign language under the standard programme for foreign students
• The programme "Language + academic disciplines" - the course enables students not only to learn a foreign language, but also to gain in-depth knowledge on an additional topic: British culture, world festivals, urban life and others. In the framework of this spring programme, the child not only increases his knowledge of the vocabulary and grammar of English, but also learns the topic of interest in the chosen language. Such format of studying in the future can play into the hands of admission to foreign colleges or universities
• The "Teacher's Study" programme is a common course for language camps abroad. This is intensive format, when a foreign student spends his studying at home of a native-speaker teacher. This format of studying is one of the most effective, because here the student is fully immersed into the language, and into the cultural and everyday features of another country. In this case the opportunity to use native language is reduced to a minimum.

The cost of studying in a spring language camp abroad will depend directly on the chosen country, school or camp, as well as language studying objectives. On average, prices for 2-week programs in European countries start from £ 1,000 in Britain, and in the range of 500 to 1,200 euros in the rest of the world.

This price usually includes the curriculum, accommodation, meals, entertainment and sightseeing. Insurance, visa and air tickets are a separate item for parents.
