Academics
Language classes run for 12 hours a week in French, English or German, in groups of around six students. Lessons focus on speaking and everyday communication rather than formal school lessons. No textbooks are used: teachers prepare materials for the level of each group. Courses run week by week.
Ski and snowboard lessons take 15 hours a week, with groups set by ability from complete beginner to advanced. Students who prefer more time on the slopes can replace their language classes with 10 extra hours of ski or snowboard lessons in the afternoons, at no extra cost.
