1. Is a transfer service provided upon arrival and departure?
Transfers are possible to/from the railway station or the airport. Please indicate the precise arrival time and flight/train number. At the time of arrival, a driver holding a sign bearing the student's name will be waiting for him/her on the station platform or in the airport arrivals hall. The student will then be taken to the registration office on campus.
Departing students will be taken to the departure hall at airport/train station by a driver of our transfer organization. You have the possibility to book "Escort service" with us, which means that the student will be taken directly to the correct platform at the railway station or to the airline Check-In. Please note that students under the age of 14 are not allowed to travel alone and need "Escort service" by the airline, which has to be booked by the airline directly. Cost of transfer service.
2. When should I turn up at campus on arrival day?
Students arrive on Sunday. Students and parents are expected to arrive between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. We require prior notice from students who are scheduled to arrive after 5 p.m. so that we can make sure that the hall of residence door is open and that dinner is reserved for them.
3.What's on the programme on the day of arrival?
First of all, each student has to register at reception. Then you are given lunch or a snack, and go to your room. Students who have not returned an aptitude test are required to complete a short assessment test. All students take part in a short oral assessment talk, as well.
4. May students leave the campus on their own?
Written permission from the student's parents entitles him/her to leave the campus unaccompanied until 6 p.m. (afternoons) or until 9 p.m. (students aged up to 15) or 10 p.m. (students aged 16). Students who do not have permission to leave the campus alone can take part in off-campus group activities with an ActiLingua teacher several times a week.
5. May students be picked up by grown-up friends or acquaintances?
Of course, provided that they have their parents' permission. The student and the adult responsible for him/her should report to the school management when leaving and returning.
6. How much spending money does a student need per week?
The amount of pocket money you bring with you depends on what you are used to. However, we would recommend slightly more pocket money than at home - at least EUR 40 per week for telephone calls, travel and admission tickets.
7. Is it possible to deposit valuables with course management for safe keeping?
Cash, air tickets and passports should be deposited with the course manager for safe keeping. There is "bank" twice a week when students can withdraw their pocket money. Rooms cannot be locked, but each student has his/her own lockable cupboard.
