Holiday Courses
Holiday courses are short-term programs offered during school vacation periods, typically lasting one to eight weeks. They combine academic instruction (languages, exam preparation, STEM) with recreational activities and excursions. Many Swiss schools offer holiday courses as a way for students to improve language skills, prepare for exams like IELTS or SAT, or explore new subjects in a relaxed, international environment.
