Dear students,
dear parents,
Learning a language whilst having fun, it’s possible! An
ESL language study programme is a unique opportunity
to study a new language and to meet new friends from
all backgrounds, in the setting of magnificent active
holidays.
To date, we propose one of the largest offers of vacation
courses in Europe to you. Our various course centres
have been carefully selected in Switzerland, France and
Germany. They meet high quality standards in terms of
accommodation, teaching and extracurricular activities.
In addition, they are situated in regions offering wide-
ranging possibilities of sports activities and attractive
excursions.
Our programmes are recognised by numerous international
organisations, vouching for our professionalism and the
quality of our products. We have created a welcoming,
stimulating and secure environment in order to offer our
students a memorable stay in the best conditions.
Being an ESL student means joining the thousands of
students from more than 70 countries worldwide who
have opted, since 1996, for one of our destinations.
We guarantee you an unforgettable stay and we look

4. A programme adapted to each age bracket
Various course locations are proposed according to your age and your level of autonomy. ESL organises optimised programmes

They have the possibility to get to know students from across the world.
During the courses, they benefit from the dynamics of studying in small groups.
According to their preference, they have the choice between accommodation in a residence
or in a host family.
During their entire stay in the residence, they benefit from the peace of mind of 24-hour supervision.
In addition, they participate in an incredible programme of activities and excursions, included
in the price.
They are given the possibility to add an additional dimension to their language study stay by selecting various activities,
excursions and optional packages.
In the same way, they compose their study programme thanks to the optional courses.

5. The ESL programmes
Attractive destinations!
We have carefully chosen the locations of our course centres whilst
considering the main criteria which contribute, as far as we are
concerned, to the success of a language study stay:
The proximity of cultural and tourist attractions, for entertaining
activities and excursions.
The ease of access by means of transport, particularly the proximity
of international airports and train stations.
The diversity and quality of the facilities in the course venues and
in their surroundings, in order to offer our students a suitable
study environment, optimal accommodation and the possibility
to practise numerous sports.
The international renown of the chosen destinations.
Accommodation
A home away from home abroad!
It is certainly easier to communicate, to exchange and to discover
the culture around you when you feel at ease, “like at home”. In
this way, in a pleasant and convivial environment which meets your
expectations, you will be able to take full advantage of your language
study stay. ESL has therefore selected the accommodation options
which best suit the requirements of young students. According to
the region, our students can choose to stay in a residence or with
a host family. Whichever option you choose, you will be in an ideal
situation to practise the language you are studying every day.
The ESL residences
Living with young people of all nationalities, discovering various points
of view and making friends, residence accommodation allows you
to have a very enriching experience of community and international
life. According to the destination, the students are accommodated in
bedrooms with 1 to 4 beds with other ESL students. The language
classes, the majority of meals as well as some of the activities take
place within, or in the immediate surroundings of, the ESL campuses
(residence + course centre). On request and depending on availability,
our students may be accommodated with a friend.
The ESL host families
The conviviality of a family environment, a daily practice of the
language of the country and the discovery of a new culture are some
of the numerous advantages that accommodation with a host family
offers. You will stay in a double room and will share the common
rooms with the members of the family. You have breakfast and the
evening meal with the family and lunch in the cafeteria of the course
centre. On request and depending on availability, our students may
be accommodated with a friend.

6. Pocket money service
Just like at the bank!
In the ESL residences, a pocket money service is proposed to the
students. Functioning like a bank, the pocket money service is open
every day, allowing for the deposit or withdrawal of money by
the students.
Internet & telephone access
Stay connected!
In order that each student may keep in contact with his/her family,
there is nothing like Internet access. All of the ESL course centres
are equipped in order that the students may access their e-mails for
free. On the other hand, the course venues in the Alps are situated in
regions which benefit from good network coverage for mobile phones.
Insurance
Travel with full peace of mind!
By means of our enrolment form, we propose to you to take out
various options of insurance cover described below. These insurances
are valid in Switzerland, in France or in Germany.
Health/accident
During your enrolment for one of our programmes, you will need to
certify that you are in possession of compulsory health and accident
insurance cover, valid in the country that you will have chosen to visit.

Cancellation
In addition, we strongly recommend to you to take out a cancellation
insurance, in the case where, at the last minute, you should be unable
to participate in the language study programme that you have booked.
ESL supervision
100% safety!
We look for the best environment possible in order that your
language study stay is a real success. The supervision of our students
is effective and discreet, adapted to the age-group and the type of
accommodation booked. In this way, each student can gain maximum
benefit from his/her stay in complete safety. From the first to the
last day, the members of the ESL team are present and available
to give the assistance requested by each student and to ensure
their necessary safety. In the ESL residences, a complete 24-hour
surveillance allows for optimal supervision. Students who choose ESL
host families benefit from more free time in accordance with their
parental authorisation. Emergency numbers, which are reachable on
a 24/7 basis, are in service in each of the ESL course centres.

7. Arrival at the course centres
Very easy access!

By plane
Each of the ESL destinations is situated close to an international
airport: Geneva, Zurich, Cologne/Bonn, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt,
Basel / Mulhouse, Milan or Nice…Whatever the chosen town or
city for your language study stay, you will benefit from facilitated
access! If you wish, you may book the “ESL airport transfer” service.
A member of our team will drive you directly to where you are staying.
A practical service for a smooth landing.
By car
Parents who wish to drive their children by car to the course venue
are welcome. Complete documentation with all of the necessary
information will be given to you prior to the stay. Please do not
hesitate to contact us for more detailed information.
By train
The “ESL train station transfer” service may be booked if you are
travelling by train. Just like our “ESL airport transfer”, a member of
the ESL team welcomes you at your arrival at the train station and
drives you to your destination.
+ By train, with ESL supervision
Bound for our Westerwald course centre in Germany only, an
accompanying adult takes care of the students from their departure
at the train station in Lausanne until their arrival at ESL Westerwald. In
this way, you will travel in a relaxed manner, without worrying about
the train changes to be carried out.
By bus
ESL organises bus transfers from the main cities in German-speaking Switzerland, bound for the course centres located in French-speaking
Switzerland. This is a good opportunity to get to know some other
students before the arrival at the course centre.

8. The ESL language courses
Learning a language has never
been so fun!
The ESL course programmes have been especially designed for
young students and are adapted to the level of each participant.
Thanks to sound teaching experience, ESL proposes an effective
and enjoyable approach to language learning. The teachers attach
particular importance to communication. They propose interactive
and motivating classes which allow for the easy practice of newly
acquired language skills. Progress is made naturally in a pleasant
atmosphere.This is the dream opportunity to develop your language
skills and to have an unforgettable experience.
The ESL teachers
Our teaching team is made up of young and dynamic teachers who
teach in their native language. The ESL teachers are chosen for their
teaching talent, their enthusiasm and for the attention they know
to give to each student. They make every effort in order to create a
relaxed, fun and stimulating atmosphere. The topics of the lessons
are as close as can be to the interests of the students. Even during
the extracurricular activities, the teachers encourage the students to
use the language being studied. This fun and motivating teaching is
the key to effective learning.
Courses adapted to your level
Whatever their level of skills in the language they are
studying, our students take a course adapted to their level.
At the beginning of their stay, all of the ESL students sit
an evaluation test, thanks to which each student is placed
in a class corresponding best to his/her level. Each week, a small
evaluation allows the teacher to accurately follow up on the progress
being made by each of his/her students.
The ESL certificate
At the end of your stay, you receive an ESL certificate
which attests to your participation in classes, validates
the language level reached and specifies the results obtained.
8www.esl-schools.org

9. Standard and intensive courses
Standard course
20 lessons per week
(Leysin-Juniors / 15 lessons per week)
Intensive course
25 lessons per week
(Leysin-Juniors   / 20 lessons per week)
The ESL classes take place from Monday to Friday. In each course
venue, you have the choice between a standard course and an
intensive course. If you choose the intensive course, you benefit from
an additional lesson per day, focussed mainly on oral communication
and the development of common projects. The module of 25 lessons
is ideal for gaining maximum benefit from your group classes.
Optional couses
Conversation courses
This course includes two weekly lessons of 45 minutes. Thanks to

Located in the Swiss Alps, at an altitude of 1263 m, the charming resort of Leysin benefits from exceptional sun exposure which has
contributed to its renown amongst nature and mountain lovers.
A tourist destination for more than a century, barely 30 minutes away from Lake Geneva and the magnificent scenery of the Lavaux*,
Leysin has managed to remain attractive and evolve over time, developing its facilities and notably obtaining the very exclusive Swiss
«Families Welcome» label, with strict quality and security requirements for all animations and activities destined for children.
It is due to this privileged location that we have chosen Leysin to establish our Juniors courses, in order that our young people may, in addition
to the learning of languages, make the most of the fresh air and fun there whilst practising their favourite sports and leisure activities.

The oxygen of the Alps
It is no accident that Leysin welcomes so many international schools and students from around the world.
Everything is brought together here in order to offer ideal study conditions but also to satisfy the aspirations of a public which is young
and eager for discoveries.
The facilities of the dynamic resort of the Vaudois Alps allow you to devote a lot of time to a wide variety of sports and leisure activities
in a preserved natural setting, which complete the plentiful benefits of the nearby Swiss Riviera.
It is in this ideal environment that our course centres “Le Classic” in summer and “Le Central Résidence” in autumn propose tailor-made
programmes adapted to 13-17 year olds. With a judicious mix of language classes, sports and leisure activities, each student finds what
they are looking for and may blossom in full security and be perfectly supervised.

”Situated on the banks of Lake Geneva, in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, Montreux enjoys a mild and pleasant microclimate
which gives it a Mediterranean feel and has earned it the name “Pearl of the Swiss riviera”.
On following the quays lined with exotic trees, walkers are amazed each time by the breathtaking panorama they have before their
eyes. Between the lake and mountains, the region offers an exceptional choice of sports and cultural activities. Montreux welcomes

Imagine yourself at the top of the Eiffel Tower, or discovering the city from the bridge of a river boat. Sit down for a 3D projection which
is even better than the real thing at the geode of the Museum of Science, pose beside the wax statue of Zinadine Zidane, stroll along the
lively small streets of the Quartier Latin, applaud the Beaubourg street artists or admire the splendours of the Palace of Versailles and
tell yourself you’re not dreaming. Our destination of Paris-Igny promises you all this and much more besides.
A charming small town to the south-west of the Parisian belt, nicknamed the garden town, Igny is an oasis of fresh air and greenery
barely 25 minutes from the heart of the capital by RER (train).
This favourable location allows us to offer as extraordinary a destination as Paris in full security and to combine language classes, sports
and residence accommodation in a magnificent environment with the discovery of all the marvels of the city of lights.

“Reputed for its preseved forests and its majestic mountains, Westerwald offers a sumptuous setting for your language study stay in
Germany…Welcome to the enchanted universe of the Brothers Grimm!”
“Rhein-Westerwald”: such is the name carried by the region of medium-sized mountains between Frankfurt and Cologne, between the Lahn,
the Sieg, the Rhine and the Dill. Situated 45 minutes from Bonn, the wooded and green landscapes of the Westerwald region were sources of
inspiration for the Brothers Grimm and their famous fairy tales. The intact nature of this region encourages visitors to practise numerous sports
and outdoor activities.

«Scents of mimosa, flowery quays lined with palm trees and a postcard-like setting…Ticino is without any doubt one of the most beauti-
ful cantons in Switzerland. Ascona…It’s hard to dream of a better place for your language study stay in Italian-speaking Switzerland.»
Originally a fishing village, the resort of Ascona has become one of the most beautiful lakeside resorts of Italian-speaking Switzerland.
Situated on the banks of the sumptuous Lago Maggiore, this refined town welcomes visitors looking for the tranquility of walks along
the flowery quays shaded by palm trees as much as lovers of water sports. Ascona is particularly suited to active sports holidays, livened
up by artistic and cultural discoveries.

38. Terms & conditions
8 - Cancellation prior to commencement of
the course
A contract partner may cancel his contract at any time prior to commencement
of the language course. In that event, ESL will be entitled to seek payment of
appropriate compensation, the amount of which will depend on the period of time
remaining between the date on which ESL receives the cancellation and the date
of commencement of the language course. In accordance with this principle, the
amount of compensation is calculated as follows:
56 days or more prior to the first day of the language course:
10% of the total invoiced price
Between 55 and 30 days prior to the first day of the language course:
20% of the total invoiced price
Between 29 and 22 days prior to the first day of the language course:
30% of the total invoiced price
Between 21 and 15 days prior to the first day of the language course:
50% of the total invoiced price
Between 14 days and the first day of the language course:
100% of the total invoiced price
Failure to participate in the course or cancellation after the given deadlines:
100% of the total invoiced price
The registration fees of CHF 110 / EUR 75 and the insurance costs will remain due.
The cancellation amount must be received at the latest 10 days following receipt
of the cancellation invoice. In the event that a participant is refused a visa and the
original refusal document issued by the Swiss/German/French Embassy is supplied,
ESL undertakes to reimburse the whole amount paid, less an administration fee of
CHF 150 / EUR 100 and bank charges of CHF 60 / EUR 40.
9 - Cancellation insurance
ESL recommends that contract partners take out a cancellation insurance policy. In
the event that the participant has taken out cancellation insurance and then cancels
his course, he will be responsible for notifying his insurers. Under no circumstances
will a cancellation insurance policy render ESL liable for non-reimbursement of a
course. ESL offers cancellation insurance, for which the charge is approximately 3%
of the total invoiced amount, up to a maximum of CHF 68 / EUR 50.
10 - Passports & visas
The participant will be responsible for complying with the security regulations, the
regulations governing the obtaining of a visa, and the health regulations required
to enter and stay in Switzerland/Germany/France. Under no circumstances will ESL
be held liable for any notice of refusal to enter or stay in Switzerland/Germany/France
given to a participant. Information relating to the regulations governing security,
health and obtaining a visa can be obtained from the Swiss/German/French Embassy
or Consulate in the participant’s home country. No reimbursement will be made,
either in full or in part, in the event that a participant is refused permission to
enter or stay in Switzerland/Germany/France by his own fault. ESL will provide a
letter of invitation for the visa application following receipt of all the costs of the
language course.
11 - Accident/health insurance
Every participant will be entirely responsible for obtaining accident and health cover
valid for the country in which he intends to stay for the whole period of his stay. In
the event that he does not have such cover at the time of registration, ESL will include
an appropriate insurance policy covering these risks. For a course in Switzerland,
the cost of this cover is CHF 180 per month. For a course in France/Germany, the
cost of cover is EUR 39 per month for EU citizens, and EUR 79 per month for non-EU
nationals. This insurance will be invoiced with the reservation package and will cover
accidents and illness only.
12 - Damage caused by participants / civil liability
Prior to arrival at ESL, each participant must take out a policy of insurance to cover
any loss/damage which he may cause during the course of his stay. In any event,
and even if a participant does not feel that it is appropriate for him to take out such
insurance, he will be liable for any losses caused to ESL, its commercial partners
and any other third party unless the liability of ESL can be clearly demonstrated.
13 - Obligations of participants
Participants are required to attend the course and to arrive on time. They are
responsible for choosing a course which is appropriate for their level of capability.
Failure to attend the course, or irregular attendance, or any disruption to lessons
caused by an individual participant’s attitude will entitle ESL to expel the participant.
ESL will not reimburse or pay compensation for any part of the missed course or any
additional travel costs incurred.
14 - Claims
In the event that a participant wishes to bring a claim, he must notify the head of
the centre immediately. Any claim for compensation must be notified in writing
to ESL Montreux, and may not arrive more than four weeks after the contractual
termination of the language course. After that time, any action taken by the contract
partner will be deemed to be null and void.
15 - Discipline
In the event that a participant is badly behaved, undisciplined, or demonstrates a
poor attitude ESL reserves the right to expel him immediately. In that event, ESL
will not reimburse or pay compensation for any part of the missed course or any
additional travel costs incurred.
16 - Changes affecting prices, dates or services
Until such time as a participant receives the confirmation of registration, ESL may
change the dates and prices of language courses published on the internet or any
other communication tools at any time. Following confirmation of registration
between ESL and the participant, ESL may change its programme of services,
provided that the changes are minor, unavoidable, based on good faith and do not
in any way affect the teaching services. In the event that the “key” services provided
by ESL are affected by major changes, participants may withdraw or apply to join a
different course of the same value, if ESL is in a position to provide this. ESL must
notify participants of any changes immediately and participants must notify ESL
as soon as possible after receipt of such notification of their intention to exercise
their rights.
17 - Minimum number of participants
In the event that it is not possible to achieve the minimum number of participants
required for a language course (6 persons for a group course), ESL will notify the
contract partner at least three weeks prior to the commencement of the course. If
ESL is unable to provide a replacement service, ESL will undertake to reimburse
all fees paid to date. Under no circumstances will ESL pay compensation for any
inconvenience or loss of time. In the event that none of the courses are appropriate
for the participant’s level of ability, ESL reserves the right to substitute the group
course for private tuition. The number of hours of private tuition will depend on the
amount paid by the participant.
18 - Transfer by coach
In the event that it is not possible to achieve the number of participants required
to organise transfer by coach (a minimum of 12 persons), ESL reserves the right
to cancel the transfer and will notify the participant at least 2 weeks prior to the
commencement of the language course. In that event, ESL will reimburse the full
cost of the transfer.
19 - Activities
Depending on the weather conditions or other circumstances beyond the control
of ESL and its organisation, ESL reserves the right to cancel one or more of the
scheduled activities described in the brochure. In that event, ESL undertakes to
substitute the cancelled activities with others.
20 - Cancellation of ESL courses
ESL reserves the right to cancel a language course for safety reasons as a
consequence of a strike, political unrest or for any other extraordinary reason. In
that event, ESL undertakes to reimburse all costs relating to the course. ESL reserves
the right to retain a certain amount to cover administration costs.
21 - Liability
ESL will assume full responsibility for the language courses offered and undertakes
to organise them efficiently in accordance with its knowledge and experience in the
sector. Under no circumstances can ESL be held liable for any loss resulting from
illness, accident or inconvenience caused by poor service provided by any agent
appointed by ESL. Neither will ESL be responsible for the loss of any valuables,
personal items, money, etc. unless such losses were due to deliberate negligence
on the part of ESL.
22 - Safety and security
ESL is authorised to take all reasonable action as required to ensure the well-
being and good health of the participants. ESL is also entitled to take all necessary
measures to provide a participant with any appropriate medical care in the event
of necessity. Any costs arising from such medical attention will be borne by the
participant, or his legal representative if he is a minor. A written release/authorisation
signed by the legal representative will be required in respect of certain sporting
packages where risk is involved. Without such a signed document, ESL reserves
the right to refuse to allow the participant to take part in certain sporting activities.
23 - Protection of personal dat
Within ESL, personal data is only recorded in the event of a request for information,
offers or registration for a language course. In principle, external organisations and
individuals do not have access to the ESL database. Personal data is communicated in
order to reserve accommodation (host family, hostel or hotel) or in response to a legal
demand. In certain cases, ESL may provide such information to competent authorities
(for example, to immigration authorities). Personal data is filed and registered at ESL-
Montreux. In addition to such data being used to provide advice and information on
reservation procedures to the participant, they may be used to provide participants
with information about new ESL products.
24 - Promotional material
ESL reserves the right to retain and use photographs either taken by or showing a
participant for promotional purposes. The same applies to anything produced by
the participant during the language course. This right will deemed to have lapsed
if the participant or his legal representative specifically revoke this point in writing
at the time of registration.
25 - Applicable law and jurisdiction
Swiss law will apply exclusively to the contractual relationship between ESL and
the participant. Jurisdiction will lie with the courts of Montreux (Switzerland). The
general terms and conditions of sale will not, under any circumstances, limit the laws
applicable to the contract partner.
1 - Registration and confirmation
All registrations received by ESL Education S.A. (“ESL”) by post, e-mail, fax or
telephone will be deemed to be valid. Registration will be confirmed within a
maximum of 10 working days following receipt of a valid registration. The contract
will be deemed to be finalised as soon as ESL has confirmed the registration, and will
then be legally enforceable. Where the registered person is an adult, that person will
become a contract partner of ESL. Where the registered person is not an adult, his/
her legal representative will become the contract partner of ESL. In that event, the
legal representative must sign the contract and give his exact address. The person
who is contractually registered to a language course will become a participant,
designated as such below. The person who signs the contract (either the person
himself or, where the person is a minor, his legal representative) will be identified as
a contract partner, designated as such below.
2 - Information supplied at the time of registration
The contract partner expressly declares that the information provided at the time of
registration for a language course is true and accurate. Any inaccurate information
or omission may lead to immediate expulsion from the course (for example, if a
“complete beginner” overestimates his level of linguistic ability in order to be able
to start a course on a date other than the official commencement date for “complete
beginners”). In that event, the costs of the course will not be refundable, either in
whole or in part.
3 - Registration fee
ESL will charge the following registration fee for each registration: CHF 110 / EUR 75.
These fees are non-refundable. In the event of late registration, from two weeks after
commencement of the language course, the participant will be charged an express
processing fee of CHF 50 / EUR 35.
4 - Contract variation fee
In the event that a participant wishes the type of course or accommodation
conditions to be varied following confirmation of registration by ESL, a variation
fee of CHF 80 / EUR 55 will be charged and will be payable with the request for
variation. No additional charge will be made if the participant decides to extend
his language course at the same centre.
5 - Conditions of payment
Fees will become payable immediately on receipt of confirmation of registration
as follows:
- a deposit of CHF 250 / EUR 170.
- the registration fee of CHF 110 / EUR 75 (not included in the cost of the
language course).
- payment of the premium for the cancellation insurance and/or the [accident/]
health insurance (where policies have been taken out).
The balance of the total fees must be paid at least four weeks prior to
commencement of the language course. In the event that ESL receives a
registration less than four weeks prior to commencement of the language course,
the full amount must be paid on receipt of the invoice. Neither the course nor the
accommodation will be deemed to have been paid for unless the relevant amount
has been received into the account details of which will be provided by ESL upon
confirmation of registration.
6 - Payment period
The contract partner will be held liable in the event that the payment periods
specified by ESL in the confirmation are not complied with. In such circumstances,
ESL reserves the right to refuse entry to the course. No claims will be accepted
by ESL.
7 - Proof of payment
Participants may be asked to provide documentary proof of payment of the full fee
for their course and accommodation either before or on commencement of the
language course. Failure to do so may mean that entry to both the course and the
accommodation will be refused. In the case of late registrations, ESL will ask for
proof before sending the pre-arrival documentation.
