For Ages: 14 - 17
Absolute Beginner to Advanced Spanish
Supervised Program
    
This program is designed for students ages 14 through 17, and is well balanced between Spanish language/culture classes and activities. It is taught by highly qualified teachers who specialize in teaching Spanish to non-native speakers. There is also a varied and active social program included during the afternoon (4 times a week). Additionally, students receive an airport or train transfer on arrival and departure by a staff member of the program.

The school is situated in the heart of Seville, just a stone's throw from the Town Hall, Cathedral and the Royal Palaces, in a completely refurbished traditional house. Its main building is lined with marble columns (from Roman times), has a spacious central patio, and a beautiful sun terrace. The teaching facilities include 20 classrooms, a study room/library, a multimedia room with Internet access, conference room, and a video room. All of the rooms are air-conditioned to ensure that students are comfortable year round.

With its 700,000 inhabitants and more than 3,000 hours of sun a year, is said to be the most beautiful city in Spain, which best keeps alive the most famous Spanish customs: a vibrant street life, flamenco music and dancing, bullfighting, as well as the openness, pride and warmth of its people. A blend of color and contrasts and joining the modern with the traditional, Sevilla offers a wide range of culture all year round which will appeal to all tastes.

Just ten minutes' walk to the east of the cathedral and centre, the Plaza de España and adjoining María Luisa Park, laid out in 1929 for an abortive "Fair of the Americas", are an ideal place to spend the middle part of the day. En route you pass by the Fábrica de Tabacos, the old tobacco factory that was the setting for Bizet's Carmen. Nowadays it's part of the university. Towards the end of the María Luisa Park, the grandest surviving pavilions from the fair have been adapted as museums. The furthest contains the city's archeology collections and opposite is the Popular Arts Museum, with interesting displays relating to the April feria.
