They lived the CERAN experience

Parents and children tell how CERAN internships allow them to progress, gain confidence and experience true linguistic immersion.

I didn't think I was good at English. Here, I learned... while having fun. Today I am better — and I feel it. You learn English at CERAN, but above all, you gain confidence.

Deniz Adara - 13 years old (Turkey)

Need:

Our daughter already studies in Dutch immersion at school, but we wanted full immersion. At CERAN, she speaks Dutch all day, in class and beyond. That’s how confidence grows and fluency becomes natural. Beyond learning, she experienced a beautiful campus, new friendships and a life-changing environment.

Rafaella - Matilda's mom

Need:

Full Dutch immersion for confidence

It was our first English camp. Three weeks later, we were speaking English all the time. Here, it’s mandatory — and that makes the difference. We expanded our vocabulary, gained real fluency and built confidence with students from around the world. Beyond the classroom, we enjoyed activities, excursions and friendships we’ll never forget.

Kayra, Damla and Sana - 14, 16 and 17 years old (Turkey)

Need:

Full immersion, real fluency, global friendships

I chose CERAN after a family recommendation, and I’m so glad I came. The classes are fun and very different from school — we learn through activities, theatre and creative exercises. I’ve already expanded my vocabulary and discovered new expressions. After just a few days, I could already feel my English improving.

Pablo Arriola Sainz - 11 years old (Mexico)

Need:

Fun English immersion with real progress

My son came back more confident, more comfortable speaking. The progress is visible — and he loved it.

Parent CERAN Academy

Need:

Here, we speak Dutch... all day long. From breakfast to afternoon activities, you really live the language. It's fun, you feel well surrounded — and you make progress without even thinking about it.

Elia - 12 years old (Chaumont-Gistoux, Belgium)

Need:

This is my fourth time at CERAN, and I keep coming back because I improve every year. Learning here is different — we interact constantly with teachers, activity leaders and friends. Mornings are for lessons, afternoons for sports and activities. You progress faster while having fun. I’ve truly improved my English here.

Lea - 17 years old (Belgium)

Need:

I come back because I improve

I arrived feeling nervous and wanted to improve my English for school. What makes CERAN different is the personal attention and supportive environment. I felt comfortable making mistakes, and my teacher gave me confidence to grow. I improved my grammar and I’m no longer afraid to speak. It truly helped me reach my goal.

Danius - 15 years old (Lithuania)

Need:

Personal attention builds real confidence

In a few weeks, I saw my child dare to speak without self-censorship. The courses are demanding, but always friendly. He has gained an ease and confidence that school alone has never been able to develop — and this is really changing the way he approaches his studies and his future.

Student parent

Need:

At first, it felt stressful because we couldn’t speak German. At CERAN, you speak English everywhere — in the lounge, at the table and during activities. After just two weeks, it felt natural. We had fun, improved every day and gained real confidence speaking English.

Rafaela and Clara - 12 and 13 years old (Germany)

Need:

From stress to confident English

I already came last year. And I knew I wanted to come back. At school, the classes are big. Here, the groups are small. Teachers take the time to correct, to listen, and to help everyone progress. The days are intense — but really fun. We speak the language all the time. In the classroom. During activities. Even in the evening. Result? I have really improved my speaking skills. And what's more, it feels good here. Everyone is welcoming.

Juliette - 15 years old (Belgium)

Need:

What I will remember most about CERAN is the people. The teachers, activity leaders and staff are incredibly kind and supportive. Beyond the classroom, we share moments, laugh together and build real friendships. It’s not just about learning a language — it’s about the relationships you create along the way.

Pedro - 11 years old

Need:

Learn languages, build real friendships
