Holiday course mathematics

Mathematics is not only needed in school and the corresponding skills are not only required in the profession, but also fundamentally in private everyday life. Without mathematical skills we are lost. Mathematics is elementary and is therefore a fixed part of the curriculum. Gaps in this subject can have unpleasant consequences in the short, medium and long term.

That is why we concentrate on the most important points of the curriculum in the areas of arithmetic, algebra, geometry and calculus. The students repeat the basic learning contents of the school year and close specific gaps in the curriculum, for example in
- Calculate with the basic operations,
- Surgery with fractures,
- Calculate with percentages and interest,
- Draw geometric shapes and constructions,
- Calculate areas and volumes,
- Dealing with size units,
- Interpreting tables and graphics,
- and in recognizing and calculating proportionality.
The pupils thus create a solid and secure basis for the coming school years, the transition into the coming school year, the change into the new school level - and for their later professional and private everyday life.

Holiday course french

French is considered to be the most elegant language in the world - and rightly so! French is one of the Swiss national languages, but of course also a world language.

But French is by no means easy to learn. German speakers, in particular, are quickly faced with the challenge of finding their way around the world of Romance languages with French.

In our intensive French courses, we focus on the familiar difficulties of the students. For example, we deal with the French indicative, create a clear understanding of the four "simple" times présent, futur simple, imparfait and passé simple and for the four composite times passé composé, futur antérieur, plus-que-parfait and passé antérieur. We also take care of the subject and the conditional.

But also, for example, the French characters, which are often perceived as an additional and unnecessary burden, belong to our topics: The correct setting of accent aigu, accent grave and accent circonflexe, the use of cédille and trema, the handling of the apostrophe, hyphens and the use of "œ".

Holiday course German as a second language

The better children and young people understand and speak German, the easier it is for them to follow the lessons. Or to put it the other way round: Children and young people need the language of education in order to acquire knowledge. Without sufficient knowledge of German, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to be successful at public schools.

Students who learn German as a second language (DaZ) thus face a double challenge. They have to learn the German language, together with the complete vocabulary relevant to the lessons, in addition to the content and competences on which all learners work. A Herculean task!

In our DaZ-Intensiv course we build up the vocabulary that is actually used in the schools with the pupils. This also includes the specialist vocabulary for the natural science subjects, for mathematics and for the humanities and social sciences.

Holiday course German

How do I write an exciting story? What makes a good description, how do I find the right word, the right formulation? What is important in a summary? And how do I structure my essay? When do I set a comma - and when the point?

A successful text is a masterpiece. But how do I get there?

In our intensive German course we answer these questions and provide the basis on which the students can build. We bring security into spelling, punctuation and grammar and show how style mistakes can be avoided. We practice directly on the text so that the students can consolidate and develop their language skills at a high level.

At the same time we convey our fascination, joy and enthusiasm for the German language. We are guided by the current curriculum, but in our intensive German course we deliberately go a step beyond it.
