SYA Summer Spain Recently Updated

The SYA Summer Spain program provides a five-week intensive immersion experience which includes a homestay with a local family, 60 hours of class time (45 in the classroom and 15 hours of experiential learning), daily cultural and extracurricular activities and excursions to two of Spain’s most beautiful cities, Toledo and Oviedo.

Class time is divided into two sections: Spanish Language and Spanish Culture & Current Events. Classes are conducted entirely in Spanish and the focus is on local language and culture. While Spain serves as a living classroom for our students, teachers make connections with the rest of the Spanish-speaking world both linguistically and culturally and encourage students to do the same. Our summer classes are taught by experienced master teachers in Spanish and class size is small. When students arrive in Zaragoza, they will sign a language and rules pledge: at school and during the activities outdoors, they are required to speak in Spanish!
