Boy, I can imagine doing a summer abroad at Durmstrang.  What fun!

There would be the basic courses:

Cruciatus:  How To Hurt The One You Love
Imperius For Idiots
Avada Kedavra Made Easy
Confunding Your Way Out Of Trouble

They would have language courses:

Dialogue With a Dementor

Then there would be softer courses:

Winning Through Intimidation
Seven Habits of Highly Effective Death Eaters
