Gap Year

This school is very good with quality. And it is in a very convenient location. Classrooms are pretty well too. I learned a lot in the summer for six weeks.

I am 14 years old British student living in Bahrain and have opted for Spanish in that school .I'm fluent in English and Arabic , During the 21 day Christmas holiday we got a good price to fly to Madrid and opportunity to do Spanish lessons 20 hrs for 2 weeks . We choose a hotel with only 5 minutes walking to the school , the students in my class were only 5 first week and 4 second week ,ages 21 ,25 ,25 ,45 ,a German ,American and 2 Chinese we were all at the same level , During the 2 weeks we had 3 teachers all of which were excellent ,i really enjoyed my studies with them , Lessons were always on time , safe and pleasant atmosphere and we even had homework . I really felt immersed in the Spanish lessons and encourages me to continue , After school ,along with my father who didn't attend the school but stayed in the hotel until lessons finished ,made tours around Madrid a really lovely city with lots to see and do ,we were lucky the weather was great .

In summary I'm really pleased i did the course and look forward to hopefully in a longer holiday stay with a Spanish family and continue the course .

Zaina Father comments ,i fully agree with the above it was a great course ,but i feel the school should at the end interact with the younger students parents /guardian and really some feedback and give some ideas how to progress from the end of the course . In my own effort i met with one of her teachers who was really nice and encouraging about Zaina BUT we need to know what next ?? nothing was said , if this was implemented you would get commitment for the future study of the student . This is not to criticize but to encourage the next move forward in teacher her Spanish

classes were amazing...teacher were very qualified...i gained a lot in a very short time...

location was nice...reachable by all ways...gracias

housing was quiet and clean...but actually it was less than my expectations in terms of luxury...
