By selecting the leading language schools in Germany for your child during the holidays, you choose his successful future! Immersion in the language environment is the most productive studying format for foreign children and teenagers.

Studying at language courses in Germany is one of the most popular destinations internationally. Foreign children and teenagers mention the high educational level, effective teaching methods, comfortable campuses of schools and centers, caring staff and interesting cultural and entertainment formats.

So that you can choose the best option for your child, our experts have compiled a selection of institutions for summer education in Germany. On this page you will find a list of German schools and centers, their descriptions, tuition fees, ratings and reviews from graduates and their parents. When you decide on a summer center or school in Germany for your child, Smapse consultants will help you prepare for admission to the course. We will draw up a list of required documents, clarify the requirements for foreign students and all deadlines: from submitting an application to passing an interview, if necessary.

Summer courses in Germany with family accommodation or full-board residence

German schools and centers do not restrict foreign students in selecting the right program for them, so you can choose your own learning conditions.:

  • The level of intensity,
  • The duration of the shift,
  • Studying methods and techniques,
  • Additional classes and activities.

Sometimes parents can choose the format of accommodation, when a school or a center for education in Germany offers several options: from accommodation in a residence on campus to the selection of a host family.

Most often, language programs for children in English or German involve 20 hours of classes per week. Lessons usually take place from Monday to Friday in a game format. International students create creative and thematic projects together during school hours, communicate on topics of interest to them during their free hours, exchange cultural experiences and establish long-term international friendships. Industry professionals and native speakers teach children and teenagers.

The family boarding house opens up the opportunity of full immersion in the everyday culture of the country, constant language practice. Staying at the hotel for foreign students allows you to independently organize leisure time and manage your time.

German language schools are located in different cities and parts of the country, and many camps are located in historical locations and nature reserves. It is recommended to book the most popular destinations in advance, 6-12 months before the start of classes.

The average duration of linguistic courses is 2-4 weeks. The age of foreign schoolchildren and students in different educational institutions varies from 7 to 18 years. The cost is €805-1300 per week. The level of language proficiency for entering the camp is from elementary and above (please specify the conditions for admission to special programs separately).

Our camp's mission is to provide a fun, educational, and culturally enriching experience for campers. We prioritize personal growth, teamwork, and global awareness through a variety of engaging activities and excursions.

Summer studying in Germany + sports training

The language programs, combined with sports training, involve the development of oral speech, reading, and grammar and spelling skills. The traditional form of education – academic hours of language classes – are added with sports training. Learning outcomes are: progress in general language proficiency and physical recovery.

German language schools for the summer: useful, effective and exciting

The host party organizes the free time of children/teenagers who have come to study abroad for summer language programs. Leisure activities offered in schools and language courses:

  • Excursions to popular tourist destinations (museums, parks), visits to local attractions (including farms, private industries);
  • Joint games, projects on school grounds,
  • Sports events and trainings,
  • Family forms of leisure (board and video games, watching movies).

The language course programs, combined with sports training, involve the development of oral speech, reading, and grammar and spelling skills.
