Studying abroad in an English High School gives you so much more than just language skills. It’s the fastest way to achieve fluency in a language, naturally, but it is also your chance to explore the world on your own terms, to meet people from many different countries and to get beneath the surface of another culture. Through the integration in an English High School you will learn English used in the main secondary high school subjects.

You can spend a term or an academic year (depending on the destination) in an High School (public or private) in UK, USA, CANADA or IRELAND.

After the program, the student will return to their school year in Spain.

- Short or long term school immersion

ENGLISH LANGUAGE COURSES

International Students are tested upon arrival to determine how much English Language Support will be required. The integration into regular classes with local students as soon as possible is very important and gives International Students opportunities to see, hear and experience the country language and culture. The High Schools are careful to assign students to classes and course content appropriate to their language skills. Students receive comprehensive English Language Training while studying academic courses at a pace they can manage.

ACTIVITIES

Our associated High Schools have many clubs, teams and activities in which International Students can participate, offering them opportunities to connect with other international and local Students and practice their English in a natural, easy going environment.

ACCOMMODATION

Boarding Schools offer an optimum environment for students’ development and give them a sense of community to learn respect for others. Additional activities designed for the boarder students will help them to develop strong relationships with day students and teachers and to achieve the best of their potential.
Homestay hosts provide students with a safe, nurturing home environment. As an international student, you will encounter a new world of adventure when you stay with a carefully selected and pre-screened host family. These families share their home and provide students from other countries with an opportunity to experience their culture, customs and language.

SAFETY & STUDENT SUPPORT

Each school has its own International Coordinator to guide students through the challenges of studying in another country. The safety and welfare of pupils is taken very seriously. All pupils benefit from the support of appropriately staff who are available to discuss personal matters and to resolve health issues.
