There will be a maximum of 6 students per class. The students are divided into groups according to their level so that they can benefit from the effective teaching method. Since the courses are based on an innovative method aiming at learning the language through dialogue. This system is called « QRI » (Question-Answer-Intonation) and consists in reproducing phonetic sounds accurately, which allows for an immediate reinforcement of the acquired knowledge. The participants are divided into three groups: Pre-teens (9-12 years), Teens (13-15 years) and Seniors (16-17 years) and therefore benefit from courses specially adapted to their age range. Supervised by competent and motivated teachers, the young students learn Dutch with the help of « fun » elements and activities communication. The verbo-tonal interaction is considered as an efficient way of learning the language. For Teens and Seniors programmes, it is possible to complete the course with private lessons (2 to 8 hours per week). Efficient and fun classes: success guaranteed!

« Oui étant donné que je partais de 0. Par contre, ce fût très compliqué car j'étais le seul "véritable" débutant. Les 4 autres personnes de mon groupe avaient déjà eu des cours de néerlandais. C'est mon seul regret. Ma prof était vraiment très très bien, elle était hyper adéquate. »

« L'enseignante et le fait que les différents groupes de langues soient bien séparés, ce qui permettaient une immersion totale. La nourriture était très bonne également.J'ai aussi bcp apprécié être seul dans ma chambre, pour moi, c'est un point essentiel. »

Top tips

« Pour un débutant, c'est vraiment très compliqué de se retrouver dans un groupe avec des personnes qui ont déjà 1 an ou 2 de cours derrière eux. J'avais même dans mon groupe un élève qui était en immersion depuis 1 année scolaire ?!?! »

Residence
The residence offers a large number of single rooms and a few double and triple rooms, which are all equipped with a sink. The common showers are located in the corridors. Bed linen is provided, but you need to bring your own bath towels. During the night, a team of activity leaders and a night supervisor ensure the well being of all students. Divided into language sectors, students learn Dutch, French or English in groups and take their meals separately in the restaurants of the centre. The food is balanced and varied and the groups of students are supervised throughout the day by the school staff speaking their target language. Water fountains and coin-operated vending machines are at your disposal.

In addition to the language classes (group lessons, workshops and optional private lessons), the activity leaders offer a wide variety of recreational activities every day, on site and outside the course centre. All of these activities are conducted in English and are included in the learning programme. You can choose from various sports (the offer may vary according to the period and the target language), including mountain biking, tennis, football, badminton, hockey, aerobics, ping-pong, volleyball, fitness, basketball, horse riding, swimming, water-polo, aquafit, squash, athletics, handball, baseball, kayaking or canoeing… The centre also gives you an opportunity to take part in artistic activities, including stage improvisation, drawing, T-shirt painting or masks or jewellery making. The end of the week is generally dedicated to fun and culture in your target language. In addition to visits to amusement parks or waterparks, the weekend excursions will allow you to discover the cultural treasures of cities like Cologne in Germany, Brussels, Liege, Namur or Antwerp.
