We are fully aware that missing a class can happen due to vacation, work, illness or other unforeseen circumstances. That’s okay. Your teacher will inform you what you missed during class and which homework is involved. If you follow an online course and let your teacher know in advance that you are unable to attend a lesson, he or she can even record it for you.
Would you still rather catch up with the lesson you missed? In that case you can book a private lesson. Contact us to discuss the possibilities.

We do our best to make Citadel a safe place to learn languages. We stay informed on the last regulations and follow them thoroughly.
We ask all our students for their cooperation. You can contribute to this safety by following the regulations in the classroom. We would also like to hear from you as soon as possible if you experience symptoms related to the coronavirus.
Despite all these precautions, there is still a chance, however small, of getting infected in the classroom or on the way here. This is something that you will have to take into consideration before signing up for our courses.
We have adjusted the classroom to make sure all RIVM measures can be complied with. However, should future circumstances make classroom teaching impossible, we will ensure that the course can continue online.
