Our Method
Getting to Know You
At the start of the week, we carry out an initial assessment to check your level. We aim to ensure that you have a positive and supportive learning experience.
Size Does Matter
With class sizes of eight, every student receives personalised feedback.
Getting our Hands Dirty
We know that our teaching style is not traditional, where you have a teacher talking at you while you frantically try to take notes, but we can guarantee it is more effective. We use an immersive teaching method, where you learn through our interactive lessons such as cooking, performing, and radio hosting.
Location, Location, Location
In walking distance of the beaches of El Sardinero and the city centre, you won’t find a better location for a language school.
Our 1000m2 state of the art facility includes a kitchen, a radio station, a theatre, an ICT room, a music studio and a large communal area for you to sit down and enjoy your complimentary tea and coffee.
We encourage students to explore and practise their Spanish after hours by exploring the city or taking part in our cultural tours.
Time For A Change
We know your time is valuable! Unlike other schools, which require two-week minimum bookings, we offer one-week minimum bookings for all courses.
You Are Not Alone
Upon arrival, you will be provided with a ‘Welcome Pack’ and assigned a welfare officer on hand to support you during your stay in Santander.
Accommodation
Finding suitable accommodation can make all the difference to your learning experience. You need to consider the price, location and amenities to find the most suitable accommodation for your needs. We have partnered with high-quality accommodation providers to offer a wide range of accommodations for your consideration.
All accommodations are within close distance of the school and closely monitored to ensure excellent standards. You can choose between individual, student residences or hostels.
We recommend bookings in advance to avoid disappointment during the summer months.
