Description

ECI offers high school students an exciting summer program in Nerja. Participants take classes at a leading language school, live with host families and immerse themselves in Spanish culture and conversation.

ECI groups are comprised of no more than 30 students with 3 full-time chaperones, an ideal student/adult ratio in terms of bonding, personal attention, organization, and safety - always our number one priority.

Nerja is a beautiful coastal town with narrow cobbled streets & whitewashed houses. At the heart of the town is the Balcon de Europa, a palm tree lined promenade with panoramic, cliff top views of the Mediterranean and Nerja's nine beaches.

The Language School Homestay families are all within easy reach of the school, lively downtown, & gorgeous beaches. The program includes 2 weeks of intensive Spanish classes, activities during the week, and interesting day trips on the weekends.

Whenever possible, we incorporate Language Partners into our programs. These young people are usually university students who work to enrich the total experience by providing our participants with lots of opportunities for integration into the community and practice in conversational Spanish. Together with small groups of our students, they explore the town, participate in a variety of activities, and discuss diverse topics in Spanish, such as entertainment, school, politics, travel, vacations, and sports.
