Leysin American School

About Leysin American School

In Summer in Switzerland, there's plenty to choose from and the choice is yours! Students interested in improving their language skills can use the mornings to practice English or French within our Language Acquisition Track. Others who would like to become future leaders or entrepreneurs will likely find our Leadership Track attractive. We also have something for those who want to try a variety of exciting summer subjects—check out our Enrichment Track to find out more. Each student will be asked to choose one of the Tracks per session before arrival.

The Language Track is an intensive course where students can choose between English and French and embark on a lively journey designed to significantly boost their language skills, confidence, and cultural understanding. Each morning, you will have a chance to dive into three hours of dynamic instruction tailored to your age and ability level, whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced learner.

Beyond the classroom, all students will take part in cultural expeditions, using their new language skills to navigate, explore, and connect with the local environment. Whether it's a scavenger hunt through the village of Leysin or interviewing local artists, these experiences deepen linguistic ability and cultural appreciation.

By the end of the course, students of both languages will have honed their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. They will emerge with a greater understanding of grammar, an expanded vocabulary, and the ability to communicate more fluently and confidently. Additionally, students will have developed a nuanced appreciation of the culture, traditions, and lifestyles associated with the language they have chosen to study.
