School description

Benefits of our location: 1. Freiburg's excellent university: 25.000 students contribute to the city’s open minded and multi-cultural flair. Freiburg has a cosmopolitan atmosphere and many varied cultural offerings and opportunities. 2. Freiburg’s location: Situated between the Rhine Valley and the Black Forest Freiburg offers wonderful landscapes with a mix of vineyards, orchards and wooded mountains, as well as a great climate: We are proud of our nick name: “Germany’s Toscana”. Freiburg is located in the famous ‘Three-Corner-Land’ next to France and Switzerland. 3. Freiburg - The “Green City”: The city has a pioneering role in the ecological movement. Many bikes and solar panels characterize the cityscape, and the sustainable Vauban-district is world-famous for its low energy building-style. Indeed it has the honour to boast of Germany’s only “green” mayor! Our School is unique because: 1. The school’s location: The language school is in the middle of the city next to a picturesque city square and only a few steps away from the university. From the central market square and from the city's main shopping street it is only a 5 minutes’ walk. 2. The school’s atmosphere and service: With its comfortable and informal setting for language learning the school offers a familial and friendly atmosphere. The school has a waste living room and a big terrace with many plants and flowers where students enjoy their breaks and free time. Moreover it specializes in meeting each student’s individual needs. Beside the language instruction the school offers a number of services such as arranging private accommodations, an airport pick-up service, medical insurance, arrangements for internships, finding music teachers and much more. 3. The learning method: The language instruction satisfies the demands of highly motivated students. The goal is to enable the students to use the language in all relevant areas of life, study and work. Therefore teachers emphasize the practical communicative side of language learning.
