Summer holiday language classes for kids and teens

Holiday courses run in small groups of 3–6 learners, either in July or the first week of August. Children attend half-day English lessons for 4 hours a day, Monday to Friday. Guided by Berlitz-certified instructors, kids practice speaking, listening, grammar, and vocabulary through interactive activities, games, and real-world content.

Holiday language classes for teens and young learners lasts one week, giving children 20 hours of intensive English practice. While fluency takes time, this concentrated format gives a real boost in confidence, communication skills, and vocabulary in just a short period.

Holiday programs are designed for children who want to make their summer break both fun and productive. The Explore program (for ages 8–11) builds core communication skills through games and storytelling, while the Achieve program, our holiday language classes for teens (ages 12–14) develops more advanced language and critical thinking skills.

Berlitz holiday courses turn a week of learning into an experience children actually look forward to. From the first minute, kids are immersed in English through interactive lessons led by Berlitz-certified instructors. Group learning creates a lively, social environment where students practice speaking with peers, support one another, and stay motivated throughout the week. Our program is tailored to the age and level of the group—whether that means fun games and storytelling for younger learners or thought-provoking topics like culture and science for teens. With our century of experience and a modern, child-friendly approach, Berlitz makes holiday classes both effective and memorable, blending real progress with the joy of a shared adventure.
