Particularly well adapted to welcoming young students thanks to the calm environment and spacious infrastructure, the centre provides large classrooms, comfortable bedrooms and plenty of communal areas where students can play table football, board games and use the free WiFi access. Sports grounds, tennis courts and an outdoor swimming pool are located a few metres away, allowing students to take full advantage of the large choice of activities close-by.

The school is perfectly adapted for young students to live and study in a peaceful environment with state-of-art infrastructure: classrooms, comfortable rooms and plenty of areas where kids can play board games and use WiFi. Playgrounds, tennis courts and an outdoor swimming pool are just in a few metres away. Optional activities include horse riding, art and tennis lessons. At the weekend children go on a rollercoaster ride in the Fort Fun Adventure Park, go on a shopping trip to Frankfurt and visit Braunfels Castle. They also get to visit the authentic youth city with its fascinating architecture of Marburg.
