Our English Language Academy combines intensive morning instruction with real-world immersion in the Swiss Alps. Small international classes ensure personalized attention as students develop communication skills, public speaking confidence, vocabulary, critical thinking, and teamwork. Every weekday morning (08:30–12:00), qualified instructors deliver focused, interactive lessons. Afternoons and evenings integrate English into authentic experiences—climbing, hiking, company visits, and social interactions with peers worldwide. What sets us apart is experiential learning. Students don't just study English; they use it daily to build genuine friendships across cultures. This immersive approach accelerates progress and reignites passion for language learning. Located in stunning alpine scenery, students strengthen language skills while gaining independence, resilience, and lifelong connections in an unforgettable setting.

Before going, my 12-year-old son said he would call us three times a day, but he ended up forgetting to call on some days because he was having so much fun. He especially enjoyed activities amidst Switzerland’s beautiful nature, made lasting friendships, and learned about the local culture, all within a safe environment. The hours of German language class during the camp were optimal, providing a perfect balance with other activities. The registration and planning process was smooth, with great attention to detail, making it stress-free for us as parents. It was a memorable experience he will never forget. Highly recommended for any parent considering a well-rounded camp for their child!

I attended this summer camp in July last 2024. It is a very memorable experience with many people in the camp. Most were Asians while some were European. I stayed one week in the mountain campus and one week in the city campus, I much prefer the mountain campus as it’s really big and allows you to explore around the mountains, the city campus however is not as great because we had to take a bus to the school which was very inconvenient, the school for the city campus is also really small which could be improved. The food was okish but you have to adjust to the taste because it was very salty for every meal, they did have some good food on a few days which I rly liked but still found a bit salty. Overall I really enjoyed the trip it with many fun activities everyday and the mountains was my favorite part of it. Food is abit salty but is bearable. The mountain campus is really big while the city is really small.

Lo scorso luglio nostra figlia ha frequentato il camp per due settimane. Oltre a lei, vi era una sola ragazza parlante italiano e dunque è stata una bella occasione per sforzarsi di parlare inglese con gli altri, anche se si era iscritta al corso di tedesco. Da quanto riferito, è stata un’esperienza davvero piacevole, sia sotto il profilo dell’apprendimento, sia per le molte attività collaterali organizzate dalla scuola (sport, cultura, vari momenti di condivisione, ecc. ). In due settimane è possibile allargare i propri orizzonti. Nostra figlia è tuttora in contatto con amici conosciuti a Disentis, che vivono oltre Oceano. Sicuramente un’esperienza da consigliare a tutti.

This past July, my son attended a camp organized by his school. He said that the two weeks flew by because he had so much fun and enjoyed all the activities. He also felt safe and comfortable throughout the camp.
