High School in Germany

• Other Cities in Germany: 
Cologne (Koln)

Durations of Program: 3-6 months and 7-12 months

Description: This program is one of the best possible investments a student can make for their future: total immersion in Germany is the ideal method not only to master the German language, but also to have a true multi-cultural experience. Students are considered as members of the German host family and share in their daily lives. By attending school and participating in the daily activities available there, students discover German culture and history in a way that cannot be gained through school books. This kind of experience is enriching, not only on a linguistic level but also for a student's personal development.

This program is open to motivated students aged 15 to 18 who are not beginners in German. It features one semester or academic year in a German high school (Gymnasium or Realschule). Participants attend normal classes, including some obligatory courses and some which may be taken as options. The schools are carefully selected to ensure that they offer youth the best possible environment.

The full year programs begin in August or September and include a three day orientation, generally in Cologne, where students must take a language exam. Students who do not obtain satisfactory results on this exam must take additional language courses at their expense.

Highlights: The placement can be anywhere in Germany. Stays may take place in small towns or large cities. Regardless of the location, however, students live a truly German experience with a warm, welcoming family.

This Program is open to American, Asian, Australian, Canadian, European, Kiwi, South African and Worldwide Participants.

Easy Languages's Mission Statement: In this steadily shrinking world where studies and employment are taking an increasingly international tilt, active knowledge of foreign languages is becoming an indispensable skill for students, business people, and even tourists. These skills, however, are extremely difficult to acquire at home. A stay among native speakers of the target languages not only facilitates the learning process, but most experts agree that it is essential to becoming a truly fluent speaker. With over 15 years of experience in organizing journeys abroad to study languages, we here at Easy Languages offer a range of courses for every age group, time line and budget. Our students participate in everything from week long holiday trips to England to year long exchanges in Costa Rica. As opposed to the majority of organizations offering services similar to ours, we do not charge any administrative price supplements. There are no hidden costs in any of our programs. All of our prices are clearly displayed in one convenient, readable table directly on the summary page of each program. We are a company that values honesty and believes that full disclosure is part of that commitment.
