Up for a unique challenge in Madrid? Join other advanced Spanish learners and live a full immersive experience. While all our Language & Culture programs offer immersion and college credits, this Honors program is for students with the drive to grow their Spanish and cross-cultural understanding to the max! As an Honors student, you will: Take a language proficiency test to ensure you have enough fluency to speak in Spanish at all times. Only intermediate and advanced Spanish speakers will be accepted.

Taste the different regions of Spain in fun cooking classes where you’ll make dishes such as tortilla de patatas, gazpacho, and crema catalana.
On excursion to Valencia, hit the beaches for swimming or volleyball and savor Spanish paella. Relax on a boat tour on L'Albufera Lake.
Take a relaxing picnic in Retiro Park.
