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.
