At this level, students normally start to be in contact with Spanish language. Our aims for Key Stage 3 is to encourage them to continue with the Spanish studies. They need to feel this language in a very positive way. Our activities and staff have tailored to achieve this objective as we create a total positive atmosphere so that we become their second home.
We can arrange an exchange with a Spanish school at Gredos Centre. We will put you in contact to know each other before coming to the Gredos Centre. This experience can be perfect for the students and also from an economic point of view, as you can get better discounts at the Centre with a bigger group.
