During the months of July and August we offer Summer Youth Courses for young adults from 12 to 18 years. These courses are an excellent opportunity to dive deeper into the German language while also enjoying the beautiful summer in Heidelberg. The Summer Youth Courses are a unique learning opportunity because students are able to take advantage of immersive classroom experiences in the mornings followed by enjoyable leisure activities in the afternoons.

The classes take place from Monday until Friday from 9:00 am until 12:15 (20 hours a week). Our classes are classes of mixed age, which means that our Summer Youth Course participants will be in one class with our “normal” all-year participants. We have made very good experience with that, as the “older” (means, students who are already longer in Heidelberg) often take the new ones under their wings and help them with both the German language as well as the where-to-find-what in Heidelberg.

Leisure activities take place on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 2 pm until 5:30 pm, but those times are also flexible depending on what type of activity is scheduled.
