Our French and English language courses for junior students from 10 to 14 years, will be held in a new course centre in Leysin from next summer onwards.
According to the success of the enrolments sent by our worldwide partners over the last 3 years, we decided to double the capacity of this programme. Additionally, following numerous requests from our clients, we will expand the age range to younger students, from 8 to 14 years.
In order to do so, we will organise this programme in our course centre of "Le Central Residence" in Leysin, which we already use for the ESL–Leysin programme for teenagers in the autumn.
It is an upgrade of services in all respects: greater accommodation capacity, renovated bedrooms (2-4 students), restaurant and classrooms adapted to the size of the programme, indoor swimming pool, location 10 minutes’ walking distance from the town centre, just beside the train station.
