Munich - Residence Program for 15 to 18 year olds

Teen Summer in Munich

  

Location

Munich, the capital of Bavaria, picturesquely situated close to the Lower Alps, is not only world famous for its “Oktoberfest”. Great museums like the old and the new “Pinakothek” (picture gallery), the German Museum, the Bavaria Film Studios and the Olympic Center have contributed as much to the fame and international atmosphere of this beautiful historic “metropolis with charm”, as its rich culture or the bustle of the “Marienplatz”. Especially for young people, Munich offers an abundant array of cultural events, concerts, shopping possibilities, sporting facilities and discos. Nonetheless, the parents should not worry about sending their children into this big city, because our host school’s team of leisure time coordinators ensures reliable 24 hour supervision.  In addition, Munich has preserved not only its charm of the days when it was a small Bavarian town, but also tranquility and safety.

Course outline
