The Teen Program combines formal classroom work with a varied program of leisure activities to introduce teens to the Spanish culture, sports and lifestyles. All levels are taught, from beginner to advanced, and formal classes are held in the morning consisting of 15 hours per week in small groups. At the end of the course, every student will receive a full report on his/her work and progress, as well as a Course Completion Certificate.

The Center is considered one of the leading youth organizations in the south of Spain and is a member of FIYTO (Federation of International Youth Travel Organization).

The teaching facilities are modern with 12 large, bright classrooms, all with air-conditioning and audiovisual facilities. There is also a library, a video room, a dining room and cafeteria, and sports grounds. Students also have access to e-mail and the internet. The school teaches foreign languages to Spaniards as well and prepares them for university exams, hence students are generally interested in conversational exchange.

Benalmadena is a small town with approximately 30,000 inhabitants, located on the Costa del Sol which lies south of the Iberian Peninsula and stretches along the Mediterranean coastline. It sits on a hill at the foot of the Mijas mountain range in the Malaga province. Originally, a sleepy Andalusian fishing village with beautiful white washed houses, Benalmadena has developed into a small but lively town which retains it old charm and character.

The choice of a language course in Benalmadena offers two advantages: the first is that the town is small enough to provide a peaceful and secure environment, while large enough to offer good shops, restaurants, an open-air cinema, etc.; the second is the town's cultural richness and its close proximity to other fascinating cities. Those really worth visiting include Granada, with its Alhambra, surely one of the great wonders of the world, dated 1238, Cordoba, the center of Andalusian culture, and Sevilla, with its monumental cathedrals and churches.
