Learn Spanish in the home of paella – take a Spanish 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.

Accommodation
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 aCertificado 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.
