Berlin

Dates: Start dates every Monday, all year round.

Description: Our school has become one of the leading teaching centers for German since it was established in 1983 and is now officially registered with the Berlin Senate.

The school has 40 classrooms and is situated on a tree-lined campus - with houses built in the 19th and 20th century, whose architecture reflects German history.

The campus is huge (9,000 sq meters) and offers a large garden as well as an onsite residence. Other facilities include 20 computers offering free internet access, a cafeteria and a cafe serving meals all day.

The cafeteria is open daily from Monday to Friday all year round, serving snacks like German cheesecake, sandwiches, soups, quiches or salads. In the summer the sun terrace is a perfect place for barbecues or just socializing after classes.

In house bicycle rental: join the locals and discover Berlin by bike, Bar hopping by bike, going to school by bike, biking along the line marking the former wall of Berlin, the school has several bikes that you can rent at budget prices, just for a day, a weekend or for a whole month.

All courses are taught by highly qualified native teachers with university degrees and the school holds on average about 90 international students.

Highlights: After a fifty-year lull Berlin is back - back as the capital of a reunified Germany and back as one of Europe's great cities.

After World War II Berlin was a crippled pawn, sandwiched between East and West, with a literal and metaphoric wall deeply dividing the two halves.

Today, tourism is on the rise as visitors come to savor the intoxicating mix of old and new. The vast sprawl of the city has no definite center with pockets of attractions dotted all over the city.

Students will be pleasantly surprised by a city with some of the liveliest nightlife in Europe. In Berlin today there are everything from authentic beer halls and old Soviet era haunts, right through to buzzing style bars and Latino nightclubs.

Berlin's climate is equally eclectic with hot summer days giving way to freezing temperatures, with clear blue skies, in winter.
