The Irish student is fully

integrated among Spanish

students and is taught

all subjects through Spanish.

The Spanish curriculum offers

a wide range of subjects

which vary from one school to

another.

This individual placement

dramatically improves the

student’s f luency and

becomes a bonus for oral and

written exams and for life.

Our 30 years of experience

show that Irish students are

upgraded in their Spanish

classes on returning to Ire-

land.

Although a daunting experi-

ence at the start, Irish

students enjoy their time, gain

new friends and mature a lot.

Schools are located in the

Galician region around Vigo,

Pontevedra, Santiago and La

Coruña (N-W of Spain).

Accommodation is either in a

boarding school or, subject to

availability, full time at the

home of Spanish students,

offering every advantage of

an exchange, without the

inconvenience.

The option to extend a stay

for an additional Term or

more weeks can be

arranged.

Our Experience has shown that the earlier Terms result in more marked improvements in

fluency as Spanish exams reduce the number of days spent in school towards the end of the year.

Gain fluency

Irish students should be reassured that their starting level in

Spanish is not critical, as making friends soon helps

overcome anxiety.

To gain fluency, residing in a country does not suffice.

Only a studious approach with regular homework and

some qualified support will make the difference.

What makes this placement a lifetime experience is our

unique “safety net” of training, briefing, coaching, and

our weekly tuition.

What is learned is more than an essential foreign language.

If motivated and open-minded, what is often initially

perceived as a daunting adventure becomes an enjoyable

and maturing experience.
