Education information
Language camps in Switzerland is a contribution to the intellectual and physical development of your child. Every year, schoolchildren from all over the world come to this alpine country to have an interesting time, meet foreign peers and improve their knowledge of a foreign language - here you can choose to study 4 languages ​​at once!
In multilingual Switzerland, you can study English, German, French and Spanish at children's camps. Some camps offer courses in two languages ​​at once. Which languages ​​are taught in an educational institution largely depends on its location. Thus, the camps located in the French-speaking cantons of Switzerland offer the study of French and English; located in the "German part" - German and English. This is no coincidence: after all, in addition to directly teaching in the classroom, children should have the opportunity to practice the language in natural conditions - during walks around the city, excursions, etc. Anticipating a question about the English language, let's say right away: almost all Swiss speak English.
The intensity of classes in the language camps in Switzerland varies from 5 to 25 hours of a foreign language per week. High school students can also take additional classes in specialized subjects (in the target language) - almost all vacation programs for children are conducted on the basis of private Swiss boarding schools, so professional teachers with outstanding teaching experience will teach mathematics or physics to children.
Foreign lessons usually take place in the morning. Then the children start a leisure program. Leisure options are varied: from water sports on lakes to mountain biking, tennis and golf, from painting and modeling to design and make-up classes. During the winter holidays in Switzerland, all winter sports are available to children, in particular - alpine skiing and snowboarding. In some camps, the time spent on the ski slope goes up to 6 hours a day! Schoolchildren are monitored by professional instructors who will help even a beginner learn to ride.
Tuition fees at language schools in Switzerland
Prices for trips to language camps in Switzerland range from 1500 to 4000 CHF per week. This amount includes teaching a foreign language, accommodation, full meals and an entertainment program. The cost is influenced by the number of language lessons (an intensive course and courses with academic subjects are more expensive than standard ones), as well as an excursion and sports program. For example, alpine skiing winter camps are more expensive than summer shifts.
Winter sports camps in Switzerland
Children's sports camps, in contrast to language camps, devote no more than 15 hours a week to study, but they imply 2-3 hours of sports per day, that is, they pay more attention to the rest and physical development of children. The rich nature provides excellent conditions for a variety of sports at any time of the year. Some sports camps for children offer around 30 possible activities to choose from. Winter is the best time for skiing and snowboarding, so it is worth choosing schools located near ski resorts. Many elite schools offering winter training programs also include ski lessons with professional instructors to help even beginners learn to ski.
