Benedict ist eine top Schule! Ich habe nur gute Erfahrungen gemacht, vom Schulstoff, über die Dozenten bis zur Administration. Ich fühlte mich zu 100% wohl bei Benedict und kann die Schule nur jedem weiterempfehlen!

Die Bénédict-Schule hat mir sehr viel beigebracht, vor allem habe ich mein Deutsch verbessert und viel viel neues gelernt. Ich bin nur drei Jahre in der Schweiz und damals dachte ich, dass das unheimlich schwer für mich wird, aber ich habe es geschafft und will noch weiter studieren. Bis bald!

Direction très humaine et empathique. Enseignants/es très investis et toujours la pour nos aider. Grand plaisir d'être étudiant chez SDC. Bravo!!!

So far this was my best experience learning German because the teacher targeted our weaknesses and set a lot of focus on guided talking instead of mere grammar. Studied A2 and B1.
