Dear students, dear parents

It’s easier to learn a new language when you are young and having fun. Our study abroad trips for juniors, run in partnership with leading language schools, offer specially designed courses for younger learners in safe and popular destinations.

When you are in a new country, meeting young people from all over the world and you need to use your language skills to express yourself, that’s when you challenge yourself. That’s when you learn best. That’s when you understand the benefits of speaking a new language and gain the confidence to do so. Speaking another language soon becomes a pleasure.

Why choose ESL?

When selecting partner schools and destinations, we focus on the aspects that make a great learning environment:

Quality of teaching
All of our partner schools are fully accredited with recognised international quality labels. We know each school’s strengths and can guide you to the school that suits you best.

Accommodation & student wellbeing
Whether with a carefully selected host family or in designated accommodation, our partner schools provide a good standard and range of accommodation options. Each school supervises its own students during their stay, so we are highly selective and make regular visits to the schools to ensure that everything is in order. We also act on student and parent feedback to keep improving our service.

A wide range of stimulating activities
Especially for younger students, a good range of social activities helps to stimulate and inspire learning. All of our partner schools have a large choice of activities outside of class. Quality student supervision is assured by serious and qualified group leaders.

A broad mix of nationalities
We put students in classes with a good mix of nationalities. This makes for a more interesting international experience and faster learning.

About ESL's educational background
Before offering language travel from 1997, we ran language summer camps for juniors in two small mountain villages in the Swiss Alps. Today, as one of the world’s leading language travel agencies we still run the summer camps as well as language schools in Switzerland, Germany and France.

Through this experience and the feedback of our students, we understand the educational needs of young learners. We work closely with partner schools to ensure that you have a great language study trip.
