Junior programme in summer
Summer, sun, language learning: create unforgettable moments for your children with the Academy of Languages' junior programme.
Every year, children aged between six and 15 from over 100 countries come to Heidelberg to learn German or English in age-appropriate lessons, make new friends and spend the summer holidays together with children from all corners of the world.
After the language course, there is a balanced and varied lunch in the canteen before the colourful leisure programme begins: Excursions to the museum are also part of the programme, as are hikes, boat trips and creative workshops.
