Location

Frankfurt, Germany’s fifth largest city, is a cosmopolitan city on the Main River with a unique “Mainhattan” skyline. It is known for its significant impact on the political, cultural and business sectors. The language school is located in the beloved district of Bahnhofsviertel only a few minutes away from the Frankfurt Mail Hauptbahnhof. It is well connected and in less than 10 minutes you can reach the famous shopping area Zeil on Germany’s largest shopping street.

The school is bright and spacious with generously sized classrooms. It has an Internet Cafe, vending machines and Study Centre with up to date learning materials. 

Language Course

The course concentrates on learning and actively using the language – this way the tuition is very much practice oriented. During the morning you will participate in group sessions with other students of a similar German level to you, with lessons focusing on improving all aspects of the German language. In the afternoons, you will then have an additional 10 small group classes spread over the week, to enable you to practise and perfect your German in a smaller group setting (5-8 students maximum).

This course is ideal for A Level students as it develops confidence, fluency and vocabulary. It is intended to support students in preparation for exams but also generally improve their German skills.

Optional Social and Cultural Programme

The school offers a range of social and cultural activities including: gallery visits, boat trips along the River Spree, seminars, guided nights out and full day excursions on Saturdays.

Accommodation

Please note accommodation is only available for students over 18 years old.

For students under the age of 18 we offer summer camps with accommodation or we advise you to consider arranging private accommodation. Some students travel with family.

Host Family

For students wanting to completely immerse themselves in the German language and culture we recommend that you stay with one of our carefully selected German host families. They will not only introduce you to the German way of life and help you practise the German language but will also give you a taste of local and delicious regional specialities. The host families are situated near to the school in the city centre within easy reach of the school by foot or U-bahn / S-bahn (underground/train).

Host Family accommodation includes half-board catering (breakfast & evening meal) from the Sunday before your course starts to the Saturday after it finishes.

Subject to availability, an extra day on one side of your trip may be available on request to facilitate flight dates. A surcharge is payable for any extra nights.
