ALPADIA Language Schools is a Swiss company, founded in 1996 and renamed in 2014. We teach languages through immersion programs, with over 6,000 students from around the world attending our schools each year.

We operate schools in Switzerland, France, Germany, England, and Malta, and run junior camps in the United States. We offer year-round adult language courses (ages 16+) and summer camp programs for juniors and teenagers (ages 8-17). Our courses include German, French, English, and Italian, from beginner to advanced levels, including official exam preparation.

Beyond standard language courses, we offer specialized programs like University Pathway programs in Europe (Germany, Switzerland, France), an Academic Year Abroad program, and Career Pathway programs in Germany. The Career Pathway program includes German language courses, career coaching, visa assistance, and job placement support. We also have online courses for German and French. Our language courses are taught by experienced teachers in small classes to promote interaction and language learning.
