Academic Year (YEAR)

This program is 40 weeks long and consists of 25 lessons per week for 35 weeks and 10 lessons per week for the last 5 weeks. Groups have a maximum of 11 students (average 7) and are available in 8 language levels.

This is a complete program with classes in language, culture, and business Spanish.The idea is to maximize your study abroad.Through our experience of teaching Spanish to foreigners we have learned that the best results are obtained over time.A program of long duration, such as this, is the most effective way to master the language.

Whether you start the course at beginner, elementary or intermediate level you will reach a level of fluency that will allow you to communicate perfectly in both social and professional circles.You will be completely immersed in Spanish language and culture. Over time you will gain the knowledge and confidence to handle all situations that may arise. Additionally, you can back-up your knowledge with two of the most prestigious diplomas awarded in Spain:The Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera (D.E.L.E. or Diploma in Spanish as a Foreign Language) and the Certificado de Español de los Negocios de la Cámara de Comercio e Industria de Madrid (Certification in Business Spanish of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Madrid).

The program consists of 925 lessons which are divided as follows:

• For the first sixteen weeks there are 5 lessons per day. The first and second lessons focus on grammar, while the third, fourth, and fifth lessons are devoted to conversation.
• For the next eight weeks there are also five lessons per day.The first and second lessons focus once again on grammar and the third and fourth on conversation.The fifth lesson is devoted to culture.
• For the following ten weeks there are again five lessons per day. During this period the focus is to prepare you for the D.E.L.E. The fee for the D.E.L.E. exam is not included in the price.
• During the last five weeks, there are two lessons per day.These lessons are designed to prepare you specifically for the Chamber of Commerce exam. Taking the exam is optional and the exam fee is not included in the price of the course.

The program may be completed during the afternoons with the 5 weekly lectures on History, Art, and Literature.

The majority of our students begin this program on the first Monday in September and end on the middle of June.There are two weeks of holiday during the program at Christmas. It is always possible to join the program at a later date and if you plan to do so, please contact us in advance.

Combining our different schools over the academic year can play a fundamental role and is without a doubt the best way to achieve maximum language and cultural immersion. At the same time it gives you a chance to explore Spain.
