École Suisse de Langues - Leysin offers teens from throughout the world French courses combined with an active recreation program. At École Suisse de Langues, we believe in conversational language study. We encourage our students to use the foreign language not only in the lessons, but also during activities and excursions. 

Our team aims to create an environment that is welcoming, stimulating and safe. We will do everything we can to ensure that your stay with us at École Suisse de Langues is an absolute delight. 

Courses
École Suisse de Langues offers French courses during the Spring, the Summer and the Autumn. Students choose between standard courses (20 lessons per week) or intensive courses (25 lessons per week), with a particular stress on the oral communication.

Courses are adapted to all levels allowing each student to improve grammatical and conversational skills while developing written and spoken ability. 

Recreation Activities

Language programs combine studies with sport & outdoor activities, excursions, and relaxation. We travel around Lake Geneva and explore the many museums and historic sites such as the Olympic Museum in Lausanne or the Chillon Castle.
In Spring, the resort offers a great ski/snowboarding area. Other activities include tennis, street hockey, soccer, climbing, paragliding, watersports, trips to the beach, horse riding, and much more.
 

Location
At Leysin in the Swiss Alps, our residential course center is centrally located in a four star seminar centre. With its idyllic location at a height of 1,263 m in French-speaking Switzerland, Leysin, in the very heart of Europe, is definitely one of the jewel of the Swiss Alps. Its remarkable sunshine hours have ensured its reputation as a tourist attraction since the late 19th century.
