School

The TANDEM language school is located in the part of the city centre known as Südstatt. Ten minutes by underground away from the central train station, it is a cosmopolitan and lively district with parks, a very nice walk along the banks of the Rhine, shops, bars and restaurants. The course centre occupies the walls of a former monastery, which has been magnificently renovated, in which you will feel immediately at ease. The beautiful light which filters through the large bay windows will stimulate you in the serene learning of German! The school contains 9 spacious classrooms and a small, very pleasant garden in the courtyard. An open desk space and a kitchen where tea, coffee and non-alcoholic drinks are offered free of charge will contribute to the comfort of the students. Internet access is free throughout the building.
