School Spanish Language Study Trip to Granada

Explore many of the highlights of Spanish culture on a school trip to Granada!

Granada is a spectacular city where your students will discover more about the history of Spain, thanks to the many incredible relics of the past, from the Royal Chapel and the stunning Alhambra, to traditions such as flamenco and tapas.

Granada’s moderate size makes it an exciting yet manageable city for students to explore. And this trip offers Spanish lessons for your students at our partner language school in the city, with content designed to meet your specific requirements. You can choose for your students to stay with carefully selected host families (all with clean police records) or in hotel accommodation within walking distance of the school. Trips can also be arranged without the language lessons and host family accommodation if you're looking for a more relaxed introduction to Spain.

Accommodation

Spanish host families

Host family accommodation offers your students the opportunity to take the Spanish learnt during their lessons and put it into practice with friendly native speakers. Their hosts will welcome them into their home and will encourage them to converse with them in Spanish only throughout their stay. This is an unforgettable, totally immersive experience that will not only help your students to improve their Spanish skills but will also help them to build their confidence. All our host families are carefully selected and well known to the dedicated Accommodations Officer at the language school. They also all hold a*Certificado de Antecedentes Penales*- proof of a clean police record. Please note that other accommodation options are available if you would prefer not to stay with host families on your Spanish school trip.
