Arrival day

The arrival day is the day before the course starts, normally Sunday. Students should give information concerning their exact date and time of arrival at latest three days before the course starts. If the student travels by train his familiy will pick him up at the station (families are available from Sunday 3.00 p.m.).

Students receive the adress of the host family at latest 3 weeks before the starting date of the course. Together with the address we'll send a city map with the location of the host family marked on it.

Allergies

Students have to indicate allergies on the enrolment form. We have families that offer rooms and food prepared for the needs of students that suffer from allergies.

Curfew

Teenagers have to observe the German law for youth protection: teenagers under 16 are allowed to stay out until 10.00 p.m. Teenagers under 18 are allowed to stay out until 12.00 p.m. If the parents of a youth student want to give more freedom, they have to send us a written permission.

Distance from school

All the families live at most 15 min. far from the school and all of them live in the town area of Lindau.

Experience

Most of the families have had students for years and so they know their problems and needs. They are an important aid especially for our younger students.

Food

Full-board for youth courses include 3 meals with one warm meal at a minimum. Families should take 2 of 3 meals together with their youth guests. The host families receive the course schedule and take it into consideration. We have vegetarian families.

Language

Families are used to speak clear German and they can offer support. In doublerooms we always accomodate students with different nationalities.

Room

We only offer double rooms, where the students are accommodated together with a student of a different native language.

Special wishes

We can usually consider the special requirements of students: families with children or without children, pets, vegetarian, smoker or non smoker etc.

Telephone

Students may only use the phone with permission of the host familiy.
