Description

With programs in Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, and Salamanca, ASA is a leader in affordable summer, trimester, semester, and academic year programs throughout Spain. Students on all programs receive an official transcript from an accredited university, guided day and overnight excursions, home-stay with 3 meals per day and laundry, airport pick-up and drop-off, comprehensive health insurance, full-time on-site director and pre-departure orientation guide. Students on trimester and semester programs also receive a cell phone!

Our programs are designed to improve your Spanish, as well as your understanding of the Spanish culture. Our site directors are there to help all students achieve whatever goals they have during their time abroad and can tutor students who require additional assistance outside of class. Whether you want the big city or a small town, ASA offers programs that fit almost every requirement someone looking to go abroad can have.

Highlights

Your Family: All of our students live with a family that's been carefully screened. Most of our families have been with us for years and are accustomed to having students living with them. You truly become a part of the family and when you leave, you'll realize that you now have an extended family for years to come. Should you have any troubles with your family, our site director is always on-call to assist you or to move you to a new family.

Seeing The Country: Our excursions are designed to help you see some of the major historical and cultural sites of your host country. At many of the sites you will have a guided tour, yet will also be left with plenty to time to explore on your own. We have both day trips to different sites, as well as overnight stays at some of the further locations. All of the excursions are included in the cost of the program, including the cost of the hotel. While we encourage our students to participate in all of the excursions, it is never a requirement.

Classes: Our students take classes with other foreign students who are also there to learn Spanish. Many of our advanced students also have the opportunity to take classes with students from their host country. All of your classes will be taught in Spanish and while you may find that some of your professors speak English, the majority will not.

The ASA Staff: The ASA team is a group of people who are well traveled, experienced in foreign education, always there to assist you and best of all, they are people who have studied abroad themselves. We know what it's like to move into a new home, in a new country, with a new language and it's this first-hand experience which makes us true professionals when it comes to studying abroad.
