Summer Language Camp in Switzerland - ESL Zug

The ESL course centre



Our partner school is located in the prestigious college «St. Michel», which is just a few steps away from the city centre and less than 10 minutes on foot from the waterfront of the Zuger See. The building and equipment of the course centre are on a property of almost 2 hectares and offers an excellent infrastructure: 8 class rooms, one big study room, a theatre, a game room (equipped with flippers, table hockey, billiard/pool, table football, video games) and several study rooms with television and DVD-player. Apart from that, the course centre offers various sports equipment, such as a gymnasium, a soccer ground, some basketball, handball and volleyball grounds, as well as ping-pong tables. Moreover, a computer room is available, where our students have access to the Internet free of charge.

The students are accommodated in comfortable triple or quadruple rooms. All the rooms have sinks; shared showers and toilets can be found on each floor. The accommodation includes full board, with all the meals taken in the huge dining room of the school. For the welfare and the security of the students, we have our supervisors of the school living on the campus. They are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Supervision

At ESL, we want the supervision of our students to be efficient and discreet so that everybody can get the most out of their stay in complete security. Our staff take particular care to supervise all our students in accordance with their age. From the first day to the last, we are there, ready to offer the help required by each student and to provide suitable security. In the ESL residences, 24-hour physical surveillance is carried out on foot. Emergency numbers are reachable round the clock in every location.

Web access & telephones

There’s nothing like a quick e-mail for keeping in touch with your family. That’s why all our course centres are equipped so that our students can exchange e-mails with their friends and families. Even the Alpine locations are in areas with good mobile phone coverage. Furthermore, all the residential centres have phonecard telephone booths for the students’ use.

Pocket money service

Operating like a mini-bank, our pocket money service is open every day to students who wish to pay in or withdraw money.
