The programme follows one clear shape all summer: Spanish in the morning, Spain itself in the afternoon. Students take 15 lessons a week from Monday to Friday, 9:30 to 13:00, in groups of no more than 16 and at their own level from A1 to C1, then eat lunch together at the school before the activity programme takes over the rest of the day. Afternoons alternate between four sports sessions a week and daily dance classes in sevillanas, salsa and other Latin styles, with a local visit and a full-day excursion adding the cultural dimension, and evenings bringing bowling, open-air cinema and a weekly party. Every Monday morning each student is handed a detailed day-by-day programme showing exactly which activity happens when, where the meeting point is and which emergency numbers to use, so the week is never improvised. Because classes deliberately mix nationalities and students live with Spanish host families within a short walk of the school, Spanish stays in use from breakfast through to the evening rather than stopping at the classroom door. Stays run from one to eight weeks with flexible start dates, and those who want more time on the water can add the sailing course at Puerto Marina in July.

Safety & Supervision
Background-checked staff
First-aid trained staff
We prioritize the health and safety of all our campers. The camp is equipped with first-aid kits, and we have a qualified nurse on-site during the camp. We follow strict hygiene and safety protocols, ensuring that the environment is clean and safe for all participants.

Meals
breakfast
Prepared by the host family at home each morning before class.
lunch
Homemade buffet in the school dining room on class days; a picnic from the family on full-day excursion days and lunch at home on Sundays.
dinner
Home-cooked evening meal with the host family.
Teenagers stay on full board, so every meal of the day is taken care of. Breakfast and dinner are eaten at home with the host family, home-cooked dishes from the Mediterranean diet built around pulses, meat, fish and seasonal fruit and vegetables, and those meals double as the most relaxed Spanish conversation practice of the day. Lunch on class days is a homemade buffet served in the school dining room, right after morning lessons finish. On Saturday excursion days the host family packs a picnic to take along, and on Sundays lunch is back at home with the family. Special diets, from vegetarian and vegan to halal, coeliac and food allergies, are catered for both at school and in the family home as long as the school is told at enrolment.

The characteristics of each family are different, there may be young families with small children, separated ladies or retired couples, with or without pets. They can live in large houses, sometimes even with a pool or live in smaller apartments near the city center or the beach. The first condition to be considered as a host family is that they have time to dedicate to the students. The second is the distance from the school, which can’t exceed 20 minutes We understand that for many students it is the first time they live this experience and we want it to be unforgettable. At the end or your stay, you will have really good memories, friends for life, and a second home in Spain! All our host families have been carefully selected; before being admitted they have to pass a strict inspection by our accommodation manager. These controls are renewed every year.
