HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER PROGRAMS
Are you interested in spending a summer perfecting your Spanish in beautiful Seville?
We live in an increasingly global society where communication is key, making it advantageous to learn the second most widely used language in the world as a fundamental skill. One highly effective way of improving your Spanish is to take an intensive program of study over the summer period. Our Summer Programs offer language classes, experiences in Seville, and cultural and sports activities. Not only will your Spanish improve through one of these programs – but you’ll also have an unforgettable experience through this enriching adventure! Spanish Institute offers the perfect High School Summer Program options for you – through our Intensive Spanish Courses or our Academic Program.

Intensive Spanish Courses
Through our Intensive Courses, you will receive intensive Spanish classes for four sessions a day in Seville, the largest city in Andalusia. No matter your current language level, you will be able to put everything you have learned into practice to advance rapidly in Spanish. Your Spanish will be a bridge for you to discover another world and another way of life. If you like history, culture, language, sports, nature, and the sea… this opportunity awaits you!

ACADEMIC PROGRAM
Our Spanish courses are designed for students to reach an effective and operating level of Spanish in a short period of time, focused on helping students to be capable of thinking and communicating in the language. Classes are offered at different levels. These courses are the perfect opportunity to begin to learn or improve your level of Spanish. The program goes beyond class hours, creating an environment with enriching activities. The methodology is participatory, intensive, and mainly oral. Classes are fun, and at the same time require the interest and motivation of students. The grammar is implied, which means it is learned naturally once students know how to utilize structures and communicative skills.

The classes given are:

- Conversation and communication skills
- Writing to communicate
- Use of Spanish (Grammatical bases to understand structures)
- Historical cultural heritage of Andalusia
- Spain today, society and culture

The courses, as requested by each student, can be directed to achieve a SIELE (International Evaluation Service of the Spanish Language) certificate.

Personalized programs available upon request.

School description

More than 5,000 international students have studied at Spanish Institute since it was founded in 1982. Students of all ages, teachers and professors, interns and volunteers have participated in our language programs which enable students to improve their Spanish as they learn to communicate easily and effectively in a short period of time. This wonderful, unique and enriching opportunity to live a cultural immersion in the magestic city of Seville is a life changing experience.

What Makes Us Different
One of the most important features that characterizes us is our personal attention every step of the way. From the moment you decide to come to Seville, to your arrival at the airport and during your stay, we will make sure you feel at home.

Another essential feature is that we work with an effective learning methodology that promotes fluency from the beginning. In fact, we offer training for teachers who teach Spanish as a foreign language in many countries.

In addition to language, we want to share our culture and history, our way of life to strengthen ties and promote understanding between different cultures.

One more feature to highlight is the quality from a human and professional point of view of our programs.

"Great Instructors, great experience"

Timothy Williamson, student from USA

The group classes were fun, and the private lessons are where I learned the most about grammar. The teachers and staff were always welcoming and had smiles on their faces. The facilitates are clean and bright and there is wifi... The activities were fantastic, with tours of the Cathedral, La Plaza de España, the Cathedral of Seville ("Catedral de Santa María de la Sede"), travel to Grenada and Ronda and various art museums and palaces. The housing was acceptable. Accommodations are sometimes sometimes at distance from the school, which causes some logistical issues. I had difficulty keeping up in one class for a number of reasons, but the school accommodated my educational needs.

The most common type of accommodation for a full immersion in the Spanish language and culture is living with a host family. Living with a family allows our students to fully discover the Spanish culture, life and people. At Spanish Institute we believe that this is an important aspect of the program. We choose families carefully and keep in constant contact with them. The family helps students to get to know Spain better and integrate them into the Spanish culture through sharing their gastronomy, talking and living together. On the first day they show students their way to Spanish Institute and everything the student may need to easily move around the city; public transport, places of interest, etc. We consider family involvement to be one of the most essential parts of the program that supports student safety and well-being.
