School Description

The city of Madrid and the personal attention provided by the school staff, in combination with high quality Spanish language studies makes it an attractive location for our A level language students.

Students love the friendly and personal atmosphere at the Spanish school in Madrid, and the range of cultural and social activities offered. Facilities include 11 classrooms, some with a TV, video and audio machines. There is also a video-room/library where students can borrow Spanish books and DVD’s and a student lounge for students to relax at break. There are also computers available and the Spanish school has WiFi throughout. Transport connections are excellent: many buses and two underground lines stop nearby.

Cultural Activities

Students love to explore the city themselves, there is plenty to discover; world class museums, monumental architecture, a beautiful market, the wonderful Retiro Park etc

The school will offer a half-day guided visit (Prado, Reina Sofia or Sorolla) and various social events (e.g. a bowling or tapas evening). Each event has to be paid for in Madrid and a minimum of 3 students are required for it to take place.

A Saturday event is arranged as well (again a minimum 3 students are required); El Escorial, Segovia, Toledo or Alcala. Students can choose to book an extra night, so they can participate in the Saturday event.

Under 18s

The parents of students aged under 18 yrs of age will have to complete a parental permission form, to attend this course. There are no set curfew rules applied, but students are expected to keep sensible hours and attend all classes. Please note that the school is an adult orientated environment and students need to be mature enough to keep regular hours so that they benefit from the programme.
