Chester College International School, Santiago de Compostela

We’ve had a fantastic experience with Chester College Spanish Summer Camp. Both of my children have been attending from Ireland for a number of years now, and it’s something they genuinely look forward to every summer. Each year, they come home full of stories, new friendships, and wonderful memories. One of the most noticeable benefits has been their progress in Spanish. Their confidence and ability to speak the language have improved tremendously, far beyond what we could have expected from classroom learning alone. The immersive environment really makes a difference. What stands out just as much is how much they embrace the Spanish culture while they’re there. From food and traditions to everyday habits, they truly get involved, and it’s been lovely to see them bring some of that culture back home with them and incorporate it into our daily lives. Overall, I couldn’t recommend Chester highly enough. It’s been an enriching, enjoyable, and worthwhile experience for both of my children year after year.

I am lucky to know the competent, skilled, loving and caring people who run the school. Chester College International school has a long tradition and a extensive experience in organizing summer camps. The school itself has a wonderful location. The cosy building sits in a charming green landscape and the property includes space for sports and other fun activities. Chester has skilled and experienced teachers and monitors that accompany the language learning process and varied activities that include art, musical theater, sports, excursions, trips to the beach, visits to the beautiful city of Santiago de Compostela and other places of interest. It's a good place to practise Spanish (or English), meet other young people and create nice memories.

Our daughter had the most amazing time. So much so that after a first summer staying for one 2-week session, she begged to go back for a full month the following summer. The camp is so well-run. Great teaching, really fun activities and the opportunity to make Spanish friends as well as learning Spanish. What more could we ask for?
