Spanish courses for Teenagers in San Sebastian

During the summer this Spanish course takes advantage of everything that San Sebastian has to offer; combining sports, excursions, culture, history and events. Teenagers are supervised by a school monitor who coordinates teachers, host families, organisation of activities, and the overall well being of the students. However, students will have two free afternoons (unless a supplementary option is booked) as well as all day Sunday to get to know their host family and become familiar with Spanish traditions and culture.

Duration: One to Twelve weeks
Generally students stay for two to four weeks

Surfing offered on Tuesday and Thursday (at extra cost) to be booked in advance.

If the weather turns bad, alternative activities are arranged such as visiting the shops, viewing a Spanish film or going to the public swimming pool.

Students are placed in single rooms, or shared rooms (if travelling with a friend).
Travelling time to school: Students are likely to have a short bus ride and a brief walk to reach the school each day.
The families are carefully chosen with the Teenager programme in mind. The student will receive a warm welcome and become another member of the household. Students must respect the programme schedule and inform the family of any outings they have during the designated free time periods.
