LAL Partner in Zug - ESL

This little town is situated in German-speaking Switzerland, at the north-eastern edge of the lake “Zuger See”. It stretches over gardens and orchards at the wooded foothills of the mountain “Zugerberg”. Zug’s privileged geographical situation in the heart of Switzerland makes this town an ideal starting point for cultural and touristy excursions in central Switzerland, as well as to discover the Alps. A walk right on the shores of the lake offers a marvellous view of the mountains of central Switzerland (Pilatus, Bürgenstock, Stanserhorn) and of the Alps of Bern (Jungfrau, Blümlisalp, Finsteraarhorn); not to forget the bluish water of the lake and the green hills, which are dominated by the mountain Rigi and the charm of the old part of the town… So many trumps to tempt the visitor! This charming place is also known for being one of the most peaceful towns in Switzerland, and is therefore an idyllic and safe surrounding to learn English – between lake and mountains.

Our partner school is located in the prestigious college «St. Michel», which is just a few steps away from the city centre and less than 10 minutes on foot from the waterfront of the Zuger See.

The building and equipment of the course centre are on a property of almost 2 hectares and offers an excellent infrastructure: 8 class rooms, one big study room, a theatre, a game room (equipped with flippers, table hockey, billiard/pool, table football, video games) and several study rooms with television and DVD-player. Apart from that, the course centre offers various sports equipment, such as a gymnasium, a soccer ground, some basketball, handball and volleyball grounds, as well as ping-pong tables. Moreover, a computer room is available, where our students have access to the Internet free of charge. The students are accommodated in comfortable triple or quadruple rooms.
