Spain | Alicante Summer Camp (15–17 Years)

Location

Located in the southern region of the Costa Blanca in Spain, the city of Alicante is renowned for its warm welcome and picturesque beaches. Attracting over 3 million visitors annually, Alicante experiences hot summers and mild winters, making it a perfect destination throughout the year.

The city boasts a diverse array of attractions, including historic landmarks such as the Castilla de Santa Barbara which dates back to the 14th-century, and the charming Barrio de la Santa Cruz, an old town famous for its traditional fiestas.

Located in the heart of the city, the language school sits in a modern building with large windows close to Avenida De Óscar Esplá. The school is a 5-minute walk from the port and all shopping areas. It is 10 minutes’ walk from the railway station and only 20 minutes’ walk from El Postiguet beach . Inside the school, there are 24 classrooms, all equipped with digital whiteboards and TV systems. The facilities include a comfortable lounge for coffee breaks and a patio for relaxing between classes.

Language Course

The course comprises 20 lessons which are all about actively using Spanish in groups of students working at a similar level. The practice-oriented tuition covers all aspects of using Spanish to build students’ confidence in all aspects of the Spanish language: grammar and composition, vocabulary and conversation.

The school caters for all abilities from beginners to more advanced Spanish speakers. Class sizes are limited to no more than 12 students.

Grouping classes by ability instead of age or nationality makes learning lively, international and immersive.

Students take a short written assessment before they travel and a speaking assessment at the beginning of the course to place them in the group most suited to their ability level.

Activities

The Summer Camp offers activities either in the morning or afternoon throughout each week. There is also a full-day excursion every Saturday. Activities vary from week to week to ensure students who stay for multiple weeks experience a varied programme.

• Beach sports
• Visit to Campello
• Visit to the Archeological Museum
• Visit Santa Barbara Castle
• Full-day excursion
