Spain offers everything you could look for in a place to live: good weather, a vibrant social life, excellent cuisine, friendly inhabitants, rich culture and traditions, a fascinating history, and a varied landscape from the green mountains of the north to the beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean.

While you study Spanish in Spain, you may discover and see how this country maintains a perfect balance between the ancient world and the new, where Gothic and Renaissance cathedrals sit side by side modern architecture and the elegant remains of Roman and Moorish cities. The gypsy art of flamenco dance and song are complemented by the most contemporary music and modern discotheques, while arenas host both bullfights and the world’s best soccer players alike.

Art enthusiasts can enjoy world-class museums and collections that include masterpieces from the greatest Spanish painters, yet Spain remains unpretentious and full of warm, welcoming people ready to show you all that their beautiful country has to offer.

Our students are always surprised by how fast they learn with the “plus ” courses – it’s our most popular program, and for good reason.

These courses are complemented by extra-curricular activities including visits to museums and other cultural centres, always accompanied by an instructor.

Active Spanish Courses (Spanish + Flamenco, Spanish + golf/tennis)

The earlier you start learning Spanish, the better! We encourage students as young as 5 years old to come discover Spain and take a Spanish immersion course.
