100/10

Program: English in the Mediterranean

My son completed the Spain/Portugal summer 2023. He just got back 24hrs ago. When I asked him to rate the experience out of 10 he said 100/10. He is sad and missing all of his classmates and teachers too. He has made life long friendships, experienced adventures like no other, matured in many ways, saw life and culture in a unique way and above all was taught by fantastic educators. The school/classroom environment was outstanding. Their chosen spots for lectures were breathtaking and providing the students with classroom and learning experience one they, my son, will never forget. MEI from day 1 of our inquiring and registering your communication, preparing and planning was a 100/10. As a parent it’s not easy letting your child travel across the world, but knowing he was doing it with MEI academy was extremely comforting for me. Thank you l, for all your hard work and dedication you put into the programs and most importantly the students! Highly recommend this experience of education and travel for all! Is there an ADULT one? Lol!

Life long friendships

The media program is great for students that want to learn more about photography and videography while travelling around the world with a whole bunch of teenagers and amazing teachers to help with your academics. Media students also travel with ESP students which helps them bond with more people and make life long friendships. The teachers are very supportive and will make sure to give you all the help you need when completing projects. I highly recommend taking any form of MEI course, it is a great opportunity and everyone had a super fun time.

A life-altering experience

This was a life-altering experience, one with a new range of emotions I never knew existed. Not only did we get to see the most beautiful landscape, but had the most helpful and loving teachers that we could call family. With their help, we formed our own family that I will love endlessly. We all managed to not only learn from our teachers, but from the locals in the beautiful cities we encountered. It taught me to never take any moment in life for granted, and opened up a new perspective on how beautiful out world truly is, all from MEI.

Then after golden hour photos looking out over Paris, we descend in time for the strobe lighting spectacle of the Tower at 11pm. From there we traverse the countryside of Montpellier in the South of France before enjoying some well deserved time on the beaches of La Costa Brava in Spain. In Barca, we study the romantic writings of Miguel de Cervantes in Don Quixote to the magical realism of Gabriel García Márquez’s, One Hundred Years of Solitude, you will be mesmerized by the genius and depth of human creativity.
