The home of the Spanish language is your home for a semester or year when you choose to live and study in Spain. The student welcomed by a host family in or near Bilbao will be immersed in two cultures, both Spanish and Basque. This is the region of some of Spain's most spectacular coastal scenery and the site of Frank Gehry's stupendous new Guggenheim Bilbao Museum. The student placed in or near Spain's capital, Madrid, will enjoy a different perspective in an area rich with historic sites, royal palaces and a cosmopolitan lifestyle. Perhaps beautiful areas in or around Sevilla or Barcelona will be where your "welcome" is extended.

No matter which region of Spain you call "home", you will be supported and encouraged by your host family, a warm and loving Spanish family chosen just for you. Perfect your Spanish during daily high school classes at your "colegio" and share charming holiday traditions with your host family and "amigos".
