How old are the students who participate in this program?

The groups in the English and French programs for children and teenagers are divided according to age and language skills. This will ensure optimal learning with students of similar age and interests.

Students from 8-12 years old are treated with special patience and care so that they learn the language in a very didactic way through, for example, games and experiments. The youngest students are supervised 24 hours a day, as this is the age group that requires the most attention.

There are also special courses for children under 8 years of age and the lessons take place in the host family.
