Summer courses to study in Belgium: top 1 schools for children and international students. List, prices, rankings

The most popular summer education in Belgium is provided by boarding camps, but there are also schools in Belgium with free attendance (full-time) - in this case, schoolchildren and students rent private rooms (apartments), houses or live in a student dormitory. The leadership of language schools assists in the selection of housing, offering options with reasonable payment and proximity to the educational institution.

The table shows the main types of summer language courses, their conditions and advantages:

Every year, summer language courses in Belgium offer interesting programs for all ages. Studies are conducted in different languages, so before choosing the right course, you need to consider this factor. The main teaching languages in Belgium:

• French
• Dutch
• Flemish (Dutch branch)
• Deutsch
• English.

Before the start of classes, all students undergo initial testing that determines a foreign language proficiency: this helps to correctly form study groups so that the learning process is effective. With this approach, schoolchildren and students with higher language skills will not have to waste time and get stuck on already familiar materials.

At the end of the language courses, final testing is also carried out and certificates of completion are issued. Teachers may offer to continue studying at higher level courses or take several weeks of additional studying in case the student has not passed the test.

Teachers and methodologists of language schools are constantly improving curricula, adding relevant topics and new words. The main types of courses offered by summer language schools in Belgium:

The abundance of languages in Belgium and some confusion “who speaks what language” sometimes confuses immigrant families. And what local language to learn? What to consider when planning a language course: where does the student live and study in Belgium? These can be provinces and cities where they speak French, Flemish or German. If a student lives in a Flemish province and goes, for example, to a private international school where English is taught, then both languages will be needed.

It is better to think about language courses in advance - you may need several consecutive programs. 

• Full language immersion. Constant communication practice with native speakers, getting rid of the language barrier
• High quality of knowledge - at the level of international standards
• The best assimilation of teaching materials - for schoolchildren, students do not need to combine language lessons with classes in a comprehensive school (university)
• Active leisure, participation in sporting events, the opportunity to get acquainted with the culture of a European country
• Advantages for admission to universities in Belgium and Europe. Certificates of the best language courses are recognized in many countries around the world.
