Learn German @ Munich Family
- Ages 12 - 17
This program is perfect if you like it idyllic and comfortable: You stay with a German family and go to school in a Munich suburb named Holzkirchen. Holzkirchen is a serene place, but the city train will take you into bustling Munich within just 20 minutes.
The school is situated right next to the station where trains leave for Munich. The building used to be a post office, and it has been beautifully rebuilt into a school. German classes take place in the morning, and some of your free time after class you´ll spend with your host family. You´ll never be the "only child": either the families have kids or another GLS student will share a family with you.
The school organizes several after class activities, and of course we´ll take you to Munich, too! (Munich website)
