High School Student Exchange Programs in Valencia

Enjoy a Spanish summer learning vacation in Valencia, Spain's third largest city which has experienced a cultural renaissance in recent years. Located on the Mediterranean coast, it has everything from pristine beaches to fascinating architecture and a world-class soccer team. It's a wonderful place to learn Spanish because although it's a big city, it still has a small town feel. Romans, Visigoths, Moors and Christians have all left their mark in Valencia, but the city has been revitalized in recent years by Santiago Calatrava's futuristic "City of Arts and Sciences." This compound of intriguing structures is one of Europe's most imaginative millennial projects and has brought slews of new visitors to the city. Calatrava's buildings and a handful of pending cutting-edge projects have made Valencia a new hot-spot and one of the top desirable places to live in Spain. Forty percent of students attending this summer vacation are international students learning Spanish and 60 percent are Spanish students learning English. The campus is located in the university district of Valencia, within walking distance to the beach and close to the city center.
