Montana Summer School takes place at the Institut Montana International Boarding School. The school is located near the city of Zug, at the foot of the Alps between Zurich and Lucerne, less than an hour from Zurich Airport.

The school's campus is located at an altitude of 900 meters above sea level, in safety, complete privacy and harmony with nature. Children will spend an unforgettable summer and bring home a vivid impression of their stay in Switzerland.

Summer school is an opportunity to improve your knowledge of the language, try new exciting activities and, of course, make friends. Children will be able to develop their sports and creative abilities, as well as experience the spirit of real adventure.

The school's motto is Learn. Grow Move Meet.

  • Learn: learn and significantly improve German, English or French.
  • Grow: gain experience in academic and extracurricular activities by choosing what brings the most joy.
  • Moving: A healthy lifestyle is one of the school's priorities. Children will participate in sports and discover new sports.
  • Meet: get to know Switzerland by visiting fascinating excursions. This is an opportunity to make friends from all over the world, learn more about other cultures and bring home unforgettable memories.

KEY FACTORS

  • Education takes place in small classes (up to 10 people), so students receive individual teacher attention.
  • Multicultural environment (children from 40 countries study at the school). Such an environment develops openness, respect for others and responsibility in children.
  • Ability to choose a program to study and focus on an interesting area. Such training contributes to faster mastery of the language.

EQUIPMENT

The campus is located on 24 hectares of land in a picturesque area. On the territory of the school there are 4 buildings in which there are rooms for living, classrooms and offices. There is also a gym, fitness rooms, a football field, 4 tennis courts, a beach volleyball and basketball court.

PROGRAM

In the morning, language lessons are held. You can learn English or German. Before the start of classes, all children write a test, according to the results of which they are divided into groups in accordance with the age and level of knowledge of the language.

In the afternoon, children go in for sports and attend classes based on their interests.
