Olé! Dreaming of a summer of sunshine, flamenco, and adventure? Consider a summer program in Spain. Teens seeking an in-depth Spanish language immersion experience or travel-oriented program have many options. Master Spanish through engaging classes and conversations with the locals. Embark on an excursion to landmarks like Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia or the Alhambra Palace in Granada. Participate in a volunteer initiative and give back to the community.
Many summer programs in Spain are based at prestigious colleges or universities, offering participants a taste of college life and a chance to learn from field experts. Homestay options allow you to experience Spanish culture firsthand and practice your language skills in a real-world setting.
Traveling abroad to Spain may even help boost your academic profile, making you a more competitive applicant for colleges and future jobs. It demonstrates your independence, adaptability, and willingness to challenge yourself. You’ll meet and connect with students from all over the world, create lasting friendships, and expand your global network.
Hunt for shells on the golden beaches of the Costa del Sol. Marvel at the snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees mountains. Admire Antoni Gaudi’s whimsical architecture in Barcelona or wander the Prado Museum in Madrid. If you’re a dancer, don’t miss Seville, where flamenco thrives at night (or the city’s Catedral de Sevilla, one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in the world).
Feeling a little wanderlust? Grab your passport because it’s time for a summer program in Spain!
