Welcome to Club 40+
At LSI, we welcome mature students of all ages throughout the year. The Club 40+ Programme
combines our regular mixed-age English language group tuition (or German tuition in Zurich)
with a unique activity programme specifically designed around the interests of our more
mature students.
