School Spanish Language Study Trip to Valencia

Learn Spanish in the home of paella – take a school trip to Valencia!

Valencia, a city that has everything from pristine beaches to fascinating architecture, is a wonderful place to learn Spanish due to the small-town feel the city has that makes visitors feel right at home.

Our partner language school in the city is located in the old town and boasts air-conditioned classrooms and a rooftop terrace. Lessons are tailored to meet your specific requirements and are taught by fully qualified native speakers. To complete the total immersion experience, accommodation is offered with carefully selected host families, all of whom have a clean police record.

Alternatively, if you'd prefer a more relaxed introduction to Spanish culture, we can also arrange trips without lessons and with hotel 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.

Launching your trip to parents and students

The next step is to get your trip approved and then get students signed up to it. Our ‘Trip Launch Pack’ will help you with this step. This is full of resources (all free to download) designed to make your life easier at this crucial point in the trip planning process.

Once you’ve booked, your dedicated Itinerary Coordinator will start work on the finer details. They’ll make sure your itinerary makes the most of your time and they’ll take on most of the admin tasks for your trip (freeing you up to do what you do best – teach).
