At this level, students normally continue contact with Spanish language. Our aim for Key Stage 4 is to encourage them to continue with their Spanish studies. They need to experience the language in a very positive way. Our staff have tailored acivities to achieve this objective, as we create a totally positive atmosphere, so that we become their second home.
What better way for young students to improve their language skills than to immerse them into a different cultural environment that is available just a few hours away.
We can arrange an exchange with a Spanish school at Gredos Centre. We will put you in contact in order to know each other before coming to the Gredos Centre. This experience can be perfect for the students and also is beneficial from an economic point of view, as you can get better discounts at the Centre with a bigger group.
