Description

With life in Spain, you are learning something new each day. For academic year and semester programs, students will attend a local high school where your academic work will vary by subject from day to day. For an additional fee, private school placements can be arranged. The classes are challenging and students are often expected to study outside the classroom. All students are required to take certain core courses, which generally include: Spanish language, Spanish literature, foreign language, philosophy, and physical education.

Academic Year, Fall Semester, Fall Trimester and Spring Semester programs require two years of high school Spanish language study or the demonstrated equivalent, as all classes will be conducted in Spanish. Students tell us that the exposure to Spanish in the classroom and in their daily life helped them to master and become fluent in their foreign language skills.

Highlights

AYUSA students are placed with carefully selected host families throughout Spain. Adjustment to host family life and Spanish culture will be assisted by a local representative.

Students will attend an arrival orientation in Barcelona, Spain, which includes an opportunity to see some of the sites in this beautiful city. An optional mid-program trip to Madrid is offered to Academic Year students for an additional cost. Information and pricing for this trip will be provided once students are on program.
