Program overview

• The objective of the program is to help you express yourself more fluently in Spanish. Students learn how people use the language in real life, how they speak to each other in the street, how they socialize, etc    
  
• We concentrate on all of the fundamental language learning skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking  
  
• All classes are given in Spanish. The groups are small in number, the teacher is able to deal with the specific needs of each student on a more personal basis  
  
• The programme also aims to integrate students into our culture. Visits to cultural centres, museums, other towns, etc. are arranged, in an attempt to ensure that all students are fully immersed in Spanish life 
  

Spanish lessons 

There are four Spanish classes every morning from 9:30 to 13:30 where our young learners focus on communication skills. We want to help them speak with confidence, regardless of level, in a fun and friendly environment

Certificate

At the end of the course, students are given an attendance certificate indicating the course taken, the number of hours of study and the level reached, in addition to a detailed report on their progress in each language area

Levels

The courses are divided up into 6 different levels: from beginner to advanced levels

Spanish level test 

On the first day of class, students are given a talk about the programme they will be studying, and have to take a level test. Once the test has been corrected, they are incorporated into the group

Class material

You will use a textbook in class, together with supplemental material such as newspaper/press articles, adverts, audio-visual materials etc. 

Methodology

Our method combines a traditional grammar approach with a more modern communicative focus. To put it simply, great importance is placed on practising grammar in communicative contexts which reproduce situations you might come across in everyday life.

On Monday morning host families accompany the teens to school and show them the way back home, either walking or by public transport.

Accommodation

Students live with carefully selected host families, giving them full immersion from day one in the Spanish way of life. 

Host families

• Living with a Spanish family is the best way to become familiar with the Spanish lifestyle, get to know Spanish customs and practise the language
• We select our families carefully so that our students feel completely at ease with them. Don't expect the host family houses to be luxurious, but they are comfortable and hospitable
• Most of the families live near the school, the maximum distance from the school to the host is 20 minutes by public transport
  
•  Students are lodged in double rooms with full board. Weekly laundry and cleaning is included
• You will have your own keys to come and go as you wish, but you must respect some basic rules and schedules, especially for mealtimes
