Location: The Pearl of the Swiss Riviera
Located on the edge of Lake Geneva in French-speaking Switzerland, Montreux benefits from a gentle, pleasant microclimate that gives it a Mediterranean feel and earns it the name of the “Pearl of the Swiss Riviera”. Walking along the banks, bordered by exotic trees, you will constantly be amazed by the breathtaking panorama before you. Between the mountains and the lake, the region offers a wide choice of sporting and cultural activities, like the Montreux Jazz Festival or the Christmas market, which have made this tourist spot famous.
School
Our language school is located in the center of Montreux, a stone’s throw from the main station and a 5-minute walk from Lake Geneva. This modern and welcoming centre has spacious, well-lit classrooms. A common room, which is equipped with computers and free internet access, gives our students the opportunity to work or relax. The course center has its own gymnasium, as well as a cafeteria where lunch is provided before departing for the afternoon activities.

Host families
Host families welcome our students in double rooms. In choosing a host family, you are opting for a home away from home and have the advantage of making contact with local people. Breakfasts and evening meals are shared with the host family and lunch is at the cafeteria in the course center.
Web access & telephones
There’s nothing like a quick e-mail for keeping in touch with your family. That’s why the school is equipped so that our students can exchange e-mails with their friends and families.
The pleasure of learning
Our main aim is to develop students’ interest in learning the language and to reawaken their dormant knowledge. To achieve our goal, we first and foremost create a youthful and dynamic atmosphere in our lessons by selecting subjects that are truly motivating for the students. Particular emphasis is placed on communication and self-confidence. Reading, writing, speaking and listening are all tackled, and grammar points are studied in such a way that our students learn without feeling that they are studying in a formal manner.
Teachers
The teaching staff are young and dynamic native speakers. They set out to create a relaxed, amusing and motivating atmosphere with lesson themes our students can relate to. During extracurricular activities, they continue to encourage their students to use the language being studied.
Courses for all levels
Whether our students are beginners or very advanced, they will find a class for their level. When they arrive, they take an entrance test, which enables us to place them in a course at their level. Each week, a quick evaluation of the students’ levels allows us to assess the progress being made.
Certificate
At the end of their stay, each student receives a certificate, attesting to their participation in our course, the level of language achieved and their results.
Standard and intensive courses
Courses take place in the mornings, from Monday to Friday. Both the standard and a more intensive option are offered. Those choosing the intensive option benefit from an additional lesson each day that is purely focused on oral and written communication and comprehension. • Standard 20 lessons per week • Intensive 25 lessons per week
Optional Courses
Conversation course
The aim of this course is to give students the opportunity to develop their ability to express themselves in a more fluent and natural manner in everyday situations. This optional module is made up of two 45-minute lessons per week.
Private courses
You may book private courses, which comprise 5 additional 45-minute lessons per week. Private courses are based purely on the student’s needs and goals. The program is determined with the aid of a detailed questionnaire, which is completed before starting the course.
Included activities & excursions
In order to make every stay a successful one, we offer a rich and varied activity program every day, as well as excursions to the most popular tourist attractions of the region. You won’t forget your stay!
Our standard activity program takes place every day and is included in the cost of the stay. Extremely varied, it enables students to take part in a wide range of sports and other activities. All these activities are organized, supervised and run by the onsite staff for each course centre.
There is a full program of excursions. For example, you can visit the fascinating medieval château at Chillon, the interactive Olympic Museum in Lausanne, or the international city of Geneva.
