English Class Trips in Germany

We create… speakers, team players, storytellers, creatives, dreamers, entrepreneurs, leaders.

The feel of a language trip without going abroad: residential class trips where your class is immersed in an English-speaking world around the clock.

Why classes love this trip

A fully supervised programme

Our trainers design and run the entire programme – your teachers keep the supervision role but are freed from the planning and delivery.

More than 25 hours of English

Over 25 hours of English across the trip – more active speaking time than on a classic language trip abroad.

Project-based learning

Sketches, short films and challenges instead of worksheets: English is used, not crammed.

Native-speaker trainers

Our team comes from the UK, US, Ireland and Canada, among others – authentic English from the very first minute.

Everything from a single source

We coordinate accommodation, catering, programme and trainers – you only organise the journey.

Free cancellation up to 90 days

Cancel free of charge up to 90 days before departure and adjust the group size at any time – planning security for your school.

An experience, not a lesson

A week that feels like an adventure – shared experiences the class remembers long after the vocabulary has sunk in.

Four academies to choose from

Every class trip follows one of four themed tracks – and not every group has to do the same one: depending on how many trainers are on site, each workshop group can pick its own academy. All tracks work for years 5 to 13.

What two schools say, in their own words

Two schools wrote about their trip on their own website, unprompted: one a whole year group on the Baltic coast, the other a Year 9 class at the Werbellinsee who wrote their account in English.

Level up! – Jahrgang 9 auf Sprachreise in Zinnowitz

Englisch verbessern in 5 Tagen? – Dieser Challenge stellte sich unser gesamte Jahrgang 9 mit 104 Schülerinnen und Schülern, begleitet von ihren Klassenlehrern, Sportlehrer und Eltern in der Woche vom 22.9.-26.9.2025.

A whole year group at once – 104 students, five days on the Baltic coast. The write-up shows the week holds up at that scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who supervises the students?

Our trainers lead the English programme, while the duty of supervision remains with the accompanying teachers – a proven and clearly defined arrangement.

What's on in the afternoons and evenings?

Afternoons bring activities like Egginering, a Scavenger Hunt, Photo Safari, the LevelUp Olympics or Humans of LevelUp, all in English and full of team spirit. Evenings continue with a Fashion Show, Disco, Movie Night, the Great Sing-Off or a Camp Fire.

Will the date fit our school year?

We plan around the school holidays of the German federal states and agree the date individually with you.

What if our group size changes?

No problem – the number of participants can be adjusted, and you can cancel free of charge up to 90 days before departure.

Which levels is the trip suitable for?

All of them – the trainers differentiate within the programme so that weaker and stronger students alike get real benefit from it.

Is the trip available in other languages?

Yes – after a successful premiere we now also run the week entirely in Spanish: the same concept, with a native-speaker trainer team. Just send us a no-obligation enquiry.

What happens if we need to cancel?

You can cancel free of charge up to 90 days before departure; a tiered refund applies after that. A reduction in the number of participants of less than 10% of the number registered at the time of booking is also possible free of charge up to 30 days before the start of the event. If a child falls ill at short notice, travel cancellation insurance covers the cost – we recommend adding it when you book.
