Tarragona today consists of an old quarter filled with interesting historic buildings, particularly the houses with connecting balconies.
The old city is built on the southern side of a rocky hill, 67 meters high, which slopes gently down to the sea on the left bank of the Francol¡ river and is surrounded by Roman walls on three of its four sides.
Tarragona has a population of around 115,000 and the town is lively, but not too big , making it a perfect location for a teenage program of this kind. It has its own sandy beaches within walking distance of the
school; it is very close to Port Aventura (one of Europe's largest theme parks) and is only an hour from Barcelona by bus or train.
Our course is designed to ensure that students enjoy their Spanish classes as much as they enjoy the rest of the course program. Classroom activities are therefore varied and where possible involve tasks or games that make the learning process interesting and fun.
All students should be back at their accommodation by the above curfew times, except when they are on an organized tour or activity. NO Exceptions can be made; NO matter of their age. This policy is strictly enforced by the Monitors at the residence.
After classes are over for the day, our program allows the student plenty of time for the full program of activities and excursions. It also allows the student to make new international friends among their new classmates, experience cultural activities together and practice their new language skills.
The following is required for enrollment in a program and must be signed by the parents or legal guardians of the teenager, students may only enroll directly if 18 or older.

"This was the most influential experience of my life.
It was incredible to be on my own away from what I'm used to to learn something I am truly passionate about. I have made friends, memories, and survival skills that will undoubtedly assist me in the rest of my life.
I will never forget that. I am definitely planning to go back again next year. Thanks! My host family really did become just that, a family. I got along with my room mates and host family siblings really well, it was perfect. We are trying to plan a few weeks to see each other again soon.
Their hospitality couldn't be matched, and by the end, my room mates and I were calling our host family parents Mom and Dad. They were what really made the experience away from home seem easy. I am so grateful for having them. (Hooray for home-made food!)
Future Advice: Have fun. This could be the only time in your life you do anything so wonderful, so enjoy every second. Introduce yourself to everyone, take risks, try new foods, travel as much as you can, don't be afraid. This is such a wonderful experience, i suggest, if you can do it, do it. Don't think twice. It's amazing.
Mothers comments: Julia had a fantastic time with this program. She thoroughly enjoyed her family and some friends she met. I'm so glad she had a chance to live in a Spanish home. While she did not talk about the classes much, I have since learned that this program is one of the best for learning Spanish. By the time she came home she could understand quite a lot."
