Summer Junior Programme (Ages 11 to 18)
A course at Asana is of three weeks’ duration and you should try to arrive and leave on the Saturday or Sunday immediately before and after your course.
Classes run from 9am to 1pm from Monday to Friday with a short break at 11am. Students then have their packed lunch together on the school premises, before beginning their afernoon excursion or indoor activity, which runs from 2pm to 5pm.
On Saturdays Asana arranges a full-day excursion to a place of cultural or scenic interest from 10am to 5pm. Sundays are free and are good days for students to spend with their host family.
Asana offers one full-day and five afternoon activities each week.
