Stay :
The participants stay in full pension in St Leo College in the very centre of the historical town Brugge, just 5 min away from the Belfry.

The boarding-school can lodge 200 pupils in modern, comfortable single rooms (only double room on specific request).

Professional, duty minded, always positive minded and experienced teachers, organizing lots of activities and present at every single moment.


Aim of the program :
Small groups, 8 to 12 pupils max. in order to let everyone speaking. The aim is to go beyond the fear of speaking a foreign language and provide enjoyment in speaking this language. The relaxed mood of the courses but also the numerous cultural activities must be a precious help.

Important note: we organize at the same time a course for French speaking youngsters. It's thus guaranteed to have French contacts and conversations. Maybe you'll even keep contact with somebody after the course to correspond with in French !

The groups are formed according to an evaluation test taken on Saturday afternoon. Levels from starters to intermediate. The final test, the regular evaluations and the newspaper (everyone is taken part actively to write it) are given to the parents at the end of the stay, during a short talk with the teacher. This little newspaper is a common work from all participants, it'll certainly contain some good memories for later.
