Our Ethos – Enthusiasm and Enjoyment in Learning and Life

We hope that you enjoy our website and that it provides all the information you need to know about our programmes. Our Centre is a hive of activity for over 1500 students throughout the year. Whether skiing or rafting, playing tennis or learning a language, students from all corners of the globe have found Haut Lac to be a home from home - with a unique atmosphere, where they can relax, make friends and experience different cultures, while having the time of their life trying out new sports and activities. Since we opened our doors in 1987 students on our language courses have benefited from our " work and play " philosophy which takes language beyond the classroom and into the living world where both the importance and relevance of learning a new language can be fully appreciated and understood.

From the start Haut Lac has been a family organisation and this is a feeling that comes across between our staff and students in all our courses. Our energetic and enthusiastic staff have but one goal - to ensure that all our students get the maximum benefit from their stay with us - the friendships formed are never forgotten. We offer our students the chance to grow as people and learn important lessons that they will need to be successful as they continue on lifes road, things such as tolerance, teamwork, discipline, organisation, confidence and respect and with over 60% of students and 100% of groups returning to sample again our friendly atmosphere, dynamic programmes and positive approach to each students needs, it seems that we have found a unique programme that is appreciated by both parents and students.

The Directors,
