A Guide to High School Programs Abroad in Spain
Best Cities for Teens
Where are the best places for high school abroad in Spain? You can hardly choose wrong! Spain high school programs are abundant all over the country, and each region has its own perks.
Granada. The home of the Alhambra occupies a scenic, convenient location between the Sierra Nevada mountains and the Mediterranean, in the heart of Spain’s sparkling south. Because it’s a manageable city where cultural activities abound, it’s a popular destination for high school programs in Spain.
Madrid. Spain’s capital is smack dab in the middle of it all, geographically and culturally. It’s a buzzing city with a mix of old and new, and some of the world’s finest art museums. If you like big cities, it’s a great place to practice your Spanish and stay busy while you explore teen travel in Spain.
San Sebastian. Nestled on the coast in Spain’s Basque region, San Sebastian isn’t the first destination that comes to mind for high school travel in Spain, but it doesn’t disappoint. This bilingual city is a culinary capital with gorgeous little beaches to enjoy when the weather’s warm. This is the destination for high school abroad in Spain if you’re looking for a less obvious choice.
Popular Program Types
Spain is a popular destination for educational programs and tourism, so there are loads of programs to choose from for high school abroad in Spain.
Language Immersion. Spanish is a commonly-taught language. Program offerings capitalize on this. You should, too! Why else would you study in Spain? Language skills are super valuable. It will be much easier to immerse yourself now than to wait until later in life.
Student Exchange. Immerse yourself in all aspects of teenage life. Attend a local school to see what it’s truly like to go to high school in Spain. These program options are generally longer in duration (up to a full academic year) and can be more cost-effective.
Community Service and Volunteering. Engaging with the community is a great way to make friends and get a different perspective. Some programs are designed exclusively around volunteer experiences. Others offer these as additional opportunities outside the language classroom.
Summer programs in Spain for high school students. Of course, summer programs in Spain are popular options for high school students because of summer vacation. Limiting yourself to the summer does not limit your options for high school abroad in Spain, though. Take your pick!
Anticipated Costs
High school abroad in Spain is probably not the cheapest option you’ll find, with most programs costing several thousand dollars for even just a few short weeks, but there’s a good reason for that! With such a sophisticated and competitive market for high school study abroad programs in Spain, they have to offer all the bells and whistles to attract students and make sure you’re well-supported. To help defray the costs of Spain high school programs, create a FundMyTravel account and look into scholarship opportunities!
Accommodations & Visas
Homestays are the most common housing option for longer-term high school programs in Spain. Living with a family is a great way to be immersed in the language at all times, to experience some of the most delicious home-cooked meals in the world, and to discover how Spanish teen culture is very connected to family. In other words, it’s the best way to have an authentic experience! Plus, you can take comfort in knowing that you’re directly helping to support a local Spanish family. Shorter-term stays and programs following a study-tour format often use shared hotels or dorm-style living.
Whether or not you need a visa at all for your study abroad in Spain will depend on your nationality and the length of your program. European Union citizens almost never need visas. U.S. citizens will need a student visa only if their high school study abroad programs last longer than 90 days. Many others may need a tourist visa to enter the country even short-term. Check with the Spanish Embassy before making any plans. Our embassy & consulate directory can help you locate all of the necessary information.
GoAbroad's Inside Scoop
Going abroad as a teen is absolutely one of the scariest, craziest ideas you could possible pitch to your parents…at least that’s what they’ll think when they hear you say it. But it is also hands-down one of the most rewarding experiences you could have to kick off your budding adulthood. Choosing to participate in high school programs in Spain will give you language skills, exposure to the history, art, and culture that shaped huge swaths of the “New World,” and oh-so-much confidence. College will be a much easier transition after you spend high school abroad in Spain.
That’s because teenagers in Spain tend to have quite a bit more freedom, or at least a very different kind of freedom in their daily life than the average U.S. teen. And the rhythm of Spanish life is perfectly designed to take advantage of your newfound liberty. Make new friends! Go on long walks around the city. Join a soccer team in your neighborhood. Enjoy your churros con chocolate slowly in your favorite plaza. Spaniards are a relaxed and social group and they love to enjoy life and fresh air. Get into it!
