International House Valencia/Españole. Some of the best times of my life. The people at the school were so nice, interesting, so different and were from countries all over the world! All my teachers represented authentic Spain from the South, East and Madrid and each class was a special and unforgettable spectacle. I loved the teachers! After my 4 months in this school my life has a part before Valencia and after. There is not a day when I don't have thoughts about school. If I had the choice... I would prefer to study in Spain for a longer period of time.

Frequent questions
#1 Do you have an emergency line?
Yes, we do. It is a 24h line.
#2 Is there supervision?
The students in both programmes are supervised during the lessons and activities. Host families and supervisors in the residence take care of the students in accommodation.
#3 How much free time do summer programmes participants have?
Sundays are considered a rest day and students have this day to themselves to spend with their friends, catch up on rest, explore the city etc. Whatever the students decide to do they have to inform their supervisor or host family if they leave their accommodation, who will stay in contact with them if needed. Additionally, students have free time between lessons and activities, as well as in the evening until fixed time they have to come back home.
#4 What time do students have to return to accommodation in the evening?
Summer Camp students (13-15 years old) have to be back for dinner, and are not allowed to go out later (Dinner is normally between 21:00 and 21:30). On Friday and Saturday, they are allowed to be out until 23:00.
Summer getaway students (16–19-year-old) have to return to their accommodation by midnight (00:00) every day from Sunday to Thursday. On Friday and Saturday, they are allowed to be out until 01:00.
Parents can set earlier curfew times after the booking. Please, make sure that your children agree with the set time.

Valencia is a safe middle-size town. Students are allowed to go out until fixed time at night. However, we strictly require to stay in contact with the school by phone.
#6 What do they usually do on the weekends?
All students who are staying another week, will join a weekend excursion on the Saturday. If a student is not continuing with the programme the following week, but would still like to join the weekend excursion they are welcome to at an extra cost of 55€. Students who have booked an extra night to leave on the Sunday will have the excursion included in the cost of their programme.
On Sunday evening there is a BBQ party (with vegetarian options) on the school terrace with a dinner and games to allow the new students who have just arrived to interact with the other students.

No, it is two different programmes. Each programme has its own Spanish classes with daily activities. The participants of the two programmes can meet each other during the Sunday parties. You can see the schedule for each programme here:
#8 What nationalities are the students on the Spanish summer programme?
Our students come from more than 40 different countries, all with the aim of learning or improving their knowledge of the language and getting to know the Spanish way of life. Most of them come from European countries, especially Germans, Italians, French, British, Americans, Bulgarians, Czechs, Swiss and Poles. The school atmosphere is very relaxed and perfect for using your new language skills and making friends.
#9 What are the timetables for the Espanole summer courses?
Our summer Spanish courses can have morning classes or zig-zag classes (some days in the morning and others in the afternoon), although it depends on the number of places and groups.
In any case, classes start at 9:30 in the morning and at 14:30 in the afternoon. The summer programme for young people is very complete, in addition to the classes there are interesting activities and visits every day and on Saturday there is a full day excursion.

The residence and host family provide the same accommodation regarding meal plan (full board) and shared room (double, triple, quadruple rooms).

Host families have between 2 and 4 students.

#13 If my child is a beginner in Spanish and can only communicate in English, what if she doesn’t understand anything?
As the goal is to learn Spanish, we do everything (classes, activities etc) in Spanish. However, if your child is a complete beginner and has difficulty understanding, we will assist in English where needed.
