School location

The Bavarian capital isn‘t far away – it‘s only a 40 minutes train ride to Munich! However, the third largest town in Bavaria has its own, very unique charms: Living is easier here, cozier, less hectic. All around town you see little fountains, people enjoying the afternoons in street cafes and students having fun at soccer games in the parks.

"Great experience"

Anna Bregola, student from Italy

I really liked my experience even if the organization of the school was not so good. The teacher was good and I learned a lot. I didn't like a lot of the activities in the afternoon, particularly going to the swimming pool because it was too cold there in Augsburg. The family was so kind and funny. My friend Arianna and I spent a great time with them.
