Spanish for School groups

We have many years of experience organizing successful school groups. We work hard to make the program for students, a great experience!

We adapt the programme to the group neeeds. Please ask for more information so we can organize a specific programme for your group.

PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION:

Denia is an ideal location for juniors because it is very safe and perfect to immerse in the Spanish language and culture, and have fun taking part in our social, cultural and sports activities. 

This is a dynamic programme adapted to the needs of the group of children or teenagers and it focuses mainly on increasing the student’s confidence when using the target language. By incorporating all four of the language skills (reading, listening, speaking, and writing) into the class we allow for each student to receive a well-rounded education.

During the afternoon, after eating at home, students participate in daily activities with an activity leader of the school. We offer many different activities, including games at the beach, hiking, snorkeling, cultural visits, etc. during weekdays, and some day-excursions on the weekends, such as visiting Valencia, Altea, water parks, among others, etc. 

We organize ‘Alternanza Scuola Lavoro’ programmes for Italian High Schools with different options and combinations: Internships in local companies, voluntary work, visits to companies and professional workshops. We organize a programme so the students can have a real-life working experience.

ACCOMMODATION IN A HOST FAMILY OR IN A HOTEL:

The homestay accommodation is with carefully selected host families who not only treat the students as if they were their own children, but who have also had previous experience with foreign youngsters and who are very committed to practicing the language being learnt. The school regularly reviews how the children are being treated and the conditions in which they are staying, ensuring the most successful trip possible. Our selected host families live less tan 10 minutes on foot from the school. Before arriving, the students will receive a description of the family and the house.

If the group prefers to be accommodated in a hotel, it is also posible. We partner with a hotel which is close to the school, to the beach and city centre.
