Summer School, Language School and School Trip Programs Abroad
Teacher-accompanied group programs for private schools and colleges. Compare the three programs side by side, or use the program finder to see which suits your group.
In short
We offer three group programs: summer schools of 1 to 4 weeks, language schools of 1 to 3 weeks, and school trips and camps of 4 to 10 days. All are organised for school groups under teacher accompaniment, with visa guidance, flights, insurance, accommodation and 24/7 support managed in a single plan. Parents join through their child's school.

Step 1/5
Questions about choosing a program
Which program should we choose?
Start from the goal: a language school for intensive language study, a summer school to combine language learning with campus life and activities, and a school trip or camp for a short cultural or themed experience. Length and school calendar matter too; the program finder above weighs these for you.
How do the programs differ in length and timing?
Summer schools run for 1 to 4 weeks, language schools for 1 to 3 weeks (longer periods are planned separately), and school trips and camps for 4 to 10 days. Summer schools suit the summer break, while trips suit mid-term breaks or short windows in the calendar.
As a parent, can I apply directly for my child?
Our programs are organised for school groups. If your child's school is planning a program, you can join through the school. You can tell us your school, or ask us to suggest suitable group programs.
Which programs include Germany?
Germany is planned for language schools and for school trips and camps; it is not part of our summer school programs. For schools that teach German, a language school or trip program is considered.
How are prices and dates set?
Price varies with group size, country and period, so included and excluded items are listed one by one in the offer prepared for your school. Dates are set together around your school calendar.
