Study abroad · 2027–28 school year
A school year abroad that counts when they come home
A year, semester or term at a school in Ireland, the UK, the United States, Canada or Australia, living with a host family. We organise everything, prepare their English before they leave and support the family all the way to getting the year recognised in Spain.
Everything included except flights
The price depends on destination, length and school. We give it to you fixed and in writing at the advice meeting.
Ask for information
We'll call you, answer your questions and invite you to the next free information session.
Who it's for
- Students in 4º ESO and 1º Bachillerato (also 3º ESO for short stays).
- Families who want their son or daughter to come back speaking real English, more independent and with the year recognised.
- Stays of a term, a semester or a full school year.
Destinations
We help you choose by age, budget and the student's personality.

United States
High school, campus life and a host family. There are exchange programmes in public schools and private-school options.
Canada
Public school districts with an excellent reputation, safe cities and families well used to hosting students.

We're with you all the way
1. Advice
A meeting with the family and the student to understand what they're looking for, plus an English level test. We propose destination, school and length, with the price fixed in writing.
2. Enrolment
We secure the school place and the host family, and give you a clear payment schedule.
3. Preparation
Documents, insurance and a pre-departure meeting with everything you need to know. Meanwhile, the student prepares their English at our school.
4. During and after
Support throughout the stay and, on return, help getting the year recognised.
They arrive with their English ready
We're a language school and an official Pearson examination centre. Before leaving, students can strengthen their English with us so the first months at school aren't an uphill struggle.
Frequently asked questions
Is the year recognised when they come back?
Yes. A secondary year completed abroad is recognised by Spain's Ministry of Education using the school's official grades. We guide you through the paperwork. We recommend 4º ESO or 1º Bachillerato: doing 2º Bachillerato abroad complicates university entry in Spain.
What level of English do they need?
It depends on the destination and school. The free level test tells us whether they're ready or how much to prepare before leaving.
How are host families chosen?
They are selected and supervised by the local coordinator at the destination, and are experienced in hosting students.
Do they need a visa?
It depends on destination and length. Ireland needs no visa for EU students. For the others, we explain the current requirements at the advice meeting and help with the process.
What isn't included?
Flights and pocket money. Everything else is included: school, host family with full board, insurance, transfers, local coordinator and our support.
How do payments work?
A deposit on enrolment and the rest in instalments before departure. It's all in writing in the proposal.
