Deluxe Academic Explorer Summer Program for Teens in St. Gallen

For a better future

Summercamp13

Course Description

Unique Venue for Children to Grow to Be Self Confident, Independent and Skillful individuals.

Whether you are speaking a new language, horseback riding, playing golf or learning ballet (to name a few), each student will be challenged to go beyond what they ever could have imagined. The school aims to offer junior young learners, ages 6-13, a foundation to forge friendships and enjoy their summers to the fullest. The camp runs from July to August with a minimum stay of two weeks. The camp combines the characteristics of a traditional Swiss boarding school with one of the most advanced learning environments and a commitment to innovate in order to define a new era of education. The camp pioneered the trademarked Individual Development Programme, IDP - a holistic view of the world, inside and outside the classroom that prepares students for university and beyond. Home to students from 50 different nationalities, an average class size of 8 students per class and a teacher to student ratio of 1:2, our Swiss private school is in a unique position to deliver on its mission.

Location

The campus is home to art-nouveau-period villas set in 100’000 m2 of private parkland in St Gallen, surrounded by century-old nut-trees and the carefully landscaped gardens that create the canvas for a unique and tranquil learning environment.

Activities

Student residences are organized into separate accommodation for boys and girls. In these boarding houses, students of the same age-group live and study together, share community spaces and join organized free-time activities.

Girls’ and boys’ residences are characterized by bright colors, cherry hard wood floors and simple but yet elegant furniture, combined with modern and tasteful en-suite marble bathrooms.

Meals

The kitchen team at our Swiss boarding school has a firm commitment to cooking without artificial colors, artificial taste intensifiers or thickening agents such as wheat flour, wherever possible. The culinary philosophy of the school kitchen team is based on a profound commitment to quality; producing carefully planned and balanced meals to support students’ demanding daily learning and activity schedules.
