Description

Sevilla, the largest city in southern Spain, offers endless opportunities to learn about Spanish culture and history. Located on the banks of the Guadalquivir River in the heart of Andalucía, this enchanting capital city has become one of the most popular study abroad destinations in Spain. After Columbus landed in the Americas in 1492, Sevilla served as the headquarters for all Spanish trade with the New World. The citys importance throughout history is reflected in its buildings, including the Cathedral and the royal palaces. Sevilla has also served as the site of two major international cultural expositions.

The LPI office is conveniently located in downtown Sevilla. At the LPI office students can check their email, receive tutoring, check out books, or simply visit and practice the Spanish language. Each of LPIs resident staff is dedicated to maximizing the students experience while studying abroad. They will conduct the on-site orientation, lead excursions, set up intercambios with local students, and assist students with any school-related questions or problems. Visit the LPI website for photos and bios of the resident staff.

The Sevilla campus of the Menendez Pelayo International University (UIMP) is a satellite campus of the central branch located in Santander. Located in the heart of the Barrio Santa Cruz, near the world-famous Giralda, the Sevilla campus was established to offer a distinguished language and culture program for foreign students.

LPI (Learning Programs International)'s Mission Statement

LPI, the high school division of International Studies Abroad (ISA) was established in 1989 to provide an academically challenging and culturally thorough study abroad program for U.S. high school students. Based in Austin, Texas, LPI reaches out to provide study abroad opportunities to students from across the United States. LPI works closely with fully-accredited foreign universities and the LPI resident staff in each program location in order to provide cultural activities, tutoring services, language exchanges, volunteer opportunities, and numerous possibilities for improving language performance. Through LPI, students are able to equip themselves with a working knowledge of a foreign language, earn college credit, experience another culture and explore the area around their program city through cultural excursions.
