Educational trips in spain

We turn classrooms into cobblestone streets, textbooks into tapas tastings and language lessons into real-life conversions. From Madrid to Salamanca, Seville to Malaga, Barcelona to Valencia, we explore the heart and soul of Spain, one immersive experience at a time.

At Languages & Beyond, we organize experiential, holistic educational trips for school students in Spain. We collaborate with world-class, highly accredited language schools in cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, Salamanca, Valencia, Sevilla, Malaga, and Cadiz in Spain. Our educational tours are an unbeatable combination of language lessons, cultural activities, art, history, intercultural exchanges with local students and excursions that enable students to gain cross-cultural knowledge and exposure, making it a holistic learning experience. Our educational tours are ideal for students studying international curriculum as they perfectly align with the philosophy of international mindedness and intercultural understanding and equip students with essential life skills and give them a head start in their journey to becoming future-ready, global citizens.

Language lessons

Students attend language classes at highly accredited language schools located in the heart of the city, taught by experienced and passionate native Spanish teachers. We customize the lessons for each school in close consultation with language teachers to meet the needs of every student—from beginners to those already proficient in the language. Students also have the opportunity to practice their conversational Spanish skills with native speakers and fellow participants, creating a supportive and enjoyable learning environment.

Cultural activities

Our trips include a variety of cultural activities that allow students to immerse themselves in the local way of life. Students visit local markets, cook traditional Spanish cuisine, and participate in experiences such as flamenco dance lessons, ceramic art workshop, team-building activities at the beach, sports with locals, and visits to museums and UNESCO World Heritage sites. They also visit a local high school in Spain for an intercultural exchange with Spanish students. These activities provide a deeper understanding of Spanish culture and help students improve their language skills in a practical and enjoyable way.

Family homestays

Students live in a welcoming and friendly Spanish host family, giving them the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the language and culture. Living with a host family provides a unique and authentic experience that gives them a deeper understanding of Spanish daily life and culture. Host families provide meals, keeping in mind meal preferences of students (vegetarian) as well as allowing them to sample the delicious local cuisine and gain a greater appreciation for Spanish food culture.

We also offer a student residence accommodation option, if requested.
