SCHOOLS
High school in Spain gives exchange students a social, engaging school experience with a strong emphasis on classroom discussion and everyday interaction. Students attend an instituto, where academics are balanced with a relaxed pace and close relationships with classmates. With long lunch breaks, late afternoons, and lots of time spent together outside of school, you’ll quickly feel immersed in Spanish language, culture, and daily life.
Throughout Spain.
