Classes take place in the mornings, with a variety of exciting activities and excursions scheduled in the afternoons and evenings. Each week  a new activity package  is available so that you can discover new destinations, sports, and experiences – and make new friends for life.

At the end of your stay, you will receive a certificate, a great asset for when you begin on your career!

Chose a language - English, French or German

At SEA Languages, we give you the opportunity to live an unforgettable experience by learning a language and combining it with activities, excursions and a lot of fun. You have the possibility to choose one language per week. We offer English, French and German courses. Should you decide to stay several weeks, you can decide to learn one language per week and therefore enrich your horizon by learning several languages during your stay.

Note that during the day, although our staff speak numerous languages, English tends to be common language at the camp.

Course outline

Classes take place in the mornings, Monday to Friday, in the form of four 45-minute lessons, for a total of 20 lessons per week. Our team of qualified and experienced teachers combines classwork with practical exercises to make best use of our unique teaching settings. 

Before your arrival, you will be asked to take an online test that will help us determine your level and assign you to the correct group. With your teacher's agreement, you can change your level group within the first two days of class. We welcome all students, from beginner to advanced speaker.

At SEA Languages, be inspired and filled with enthusiasm from day one, by the great atmosphere that makes up the camp life. An ideal setting for you to enjoy learning a foreign language.

 

Teaching methods

Teachers are encouraged to use flexible and diverse teaching methods and techniques, making sure to fit the group and the specific needs of each student, covering a large range of topics and subjects. The small number of students per group (average of 12) makes it easier to ensure every student's progress. Teachers have access to a wide array of equipment and accessories to help them create fun and interactive classes.

Your stay at the Swiss Education Academy camp will certainly help you with your language skills. Your progress will also depend on your personal investment and your motivation. The exceptional atmosphere of our courses will help you learn and make progress in a relaxed environment!

 

Teaching facilities

Our teaching facilities offer great teaching and learning conditions. Classrooms have been renovated and equipped with state of the art multimedia devices.

Certificates

At the end of your stay, you will be handed a certificate, mentioning the learning program you participated in and have a great lasting memory of your stay.

Excursions

Every Saturday, students who are staying at Swiss Education Academy another week go on a day long excursion. 
Excursion destinations are alternated. The following are our destination examples

The city of Bern

Bern, the Swiss capital, is a historical city where an afternoon of shopping turns into a cultural landmark visit. It is renowned for its BearPark and the Parliament building, that hosts the federal government.

Cailler chocolate factory

Imagine yourself in a place where all your senses can be used to discover the delicious world of Cailler chocolate. Discover the chocolate making process of the famous Cailler treats and of course, taste them! Made from the best cocoa beans, local milk and other delicious ingredients that will most certainly guarantee a pleasurable discovery. The visit then takes you to the nearby village of Gruyere.

Olympic museum

Fun fact: Lausanne is the Olympic Capital, the home of Inernational Olympic Committee. We have the chance to be very close from Lausanne and it happen to be an amazing shopping place as well. Brace yourself for an amazing excursion about the history of sports before discovering the street of Lausanne and its fashion.

Evening activities

The evening is the best time of the day to relax, have fun, and enjoy the atmosphere of the program. Activities may a Casino Night, a Talent Show, Olympiads, cinema nights and karaoke. Evening activities are mandatory, because we think they are a great bonding opportunity as well as an integral part of community life.

On Friday, the evening opens with a graduation ceremony where certificates are given out, followed by a fun disco celebration.
