Description

Ideally located on the banks of Lake Werbellinsee, our centre is surrounded by the forest, set in a vast protected estate of more than 100 hectares, where nature and lake prevail. We have our own beach, sports hall, beach volleyball courts, large-screen movie theatre and kiosk as well as many other sports and leisure facilities. Each bedroom has a private bathroom with shower. Classrooms are perfectly fitted for stimulating language teaching and located only a few metres away from the bedrooms. All of the major Berlin attractions are within easy reach thanks to our weekly excursions.

The centre has its own beach, sports centre, volleyball courts, cinema and kiosks. There is a wide range of sports and leisure activities available: volleyball, tennis, cycling and swimming. Riding lessons, arts workshops, or water sports (rowing or sailing) are available for an extra fee. In the evening kids watch German films, have a barbecue and participate in sports tournaments. At the weekend, you can go for a walk in Berlin. They also go on excursions to the Victory Column and the mines.

Children are accommodated in a residence within walking distance of the school campus. There is a lounge area and ping pong tables in the building. Meals are served three times a day and there is a vegetarian menu.
