What this is

German immersion for teens 13–18, with summer courses in Berlin, Munich, Cologne, Düsseldorf and Vienna and year-round courses in the Allgäu. Students live and study under one roof, speaking only German.

Teens take 30 German lessons a week, beginners included, plus daily activities and weekly excursions. City courses run in July and August in youth hostels and guest houses, from the Rhine in Düsseldorf to Vienna's Danube Island; ages vary by city. Lindenberg im Allgäu runs year-round with near-weekly starts, and Bad Schussenried runs through the summer. Full board and 24-hour supervision are included, from an institute with 45+ years of teaching German.

For teens ready for full immersion, with classmates from dozens of countries.
