The Concept

Schools looking to inspire and challenge students with a CLIL in Germany should look no further than this comprehensive 9-day Cultural and Language tour. Students will be able to practice first hand their language skills through accessing public transport, visiting historic sites and museums and eating at local venues. 

Schools have the option of extending their time in Germany with our Berlin Extension to give students an understanding of Germany’s capital or talk to us about a homestay/school experience.
