Summer youth course

Classes are held Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. (20 lessons per week). Our classes include students of all ages, which means that we place our summer youth course participants in a class with our “regular” year-round students. We have had outstanding experiences with this, as the “older” students take the newcomers under their wing and help them both with the German language and finding their way around Heidelberg.

The additional leisure activities take place on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 2:00 p.m. to about 5:30 p.m. These times and days are flexible, as they depend on the activity.

During your stay at Alpha Aktiv, you will live with one of our carefully selected host families. We have been working with each of them for several years, so there is a guaranteed feel-good factor there! Breakfast and dinner are shared with the family every day, creating a perfect opportunity to improve your German language skills and get an insight into German culture!
