EUROACE´S High School Program: Language learning & Cultural immersion
At EUROACE, one of the key goals for our students is to fully dive into the local culture and spend as much time as possible with locals. Our high school program takes that opportunity to the next level as it combines both language learning and cultural immersion. By studying in a public Spanish school and living with a Spanish host family, our High School students experience life in Spain like never before. It’s the perfect way to improve your Spanish, make real connections, and immerse yourself in the culture but on a deeper level. Whether you’re in the classroom or enjoying time with your host family, you’ll gain a truly authentic experience that goes beyond just learning a language.
Our High School program has always been successful with past students not only because it offers so much more than the basics, but also because it lets you step completely out of your comfort zone. Our blog today gives you more information about the services included and also gives you access to a Q&A with one of our most recent High School students. What better way to inform yourself than hearing directly from someone who’s already been through the experience? Keep reading for more!
A semester (or more) in a Spanish school
Studying in a Spanish school is a fantastic opportunity to fully integrate into the local education system and experience daily school life. Whether you choose to stay for a semester or the entire year, the duration of your stay is entirely up to you! No matter how long you’re here, you’ll still enjoy all the benefits of fully integrating into the Spanish education system. From day one, you’ll dive into classes, activities, and daily school life, making the most of your time in Spain and connecting with the local culture in a meaningful way.
Whether you’re joining in group projects, playing sports, or chatting with friends between lessons, these everyday interactions are invaluable for improving your Spanish and forming strong, authentic connections. The school environment provides countless opportunities to practice the language in real-world settings, whether you’re participating in class discussions, working on collaborative assignments, or just simply talking with classmates during breaks. Engaging with your peers during lunchtimes and after-school activities helps you better understand local customs, slang, and cultural nuances, allowing you to connect on a deeper level.
A Supportive stay with one of our host families
Staying with a Spanish host family during your high school experience is an incredible way to immerse yourself in the culture and language. Not only do you get a true sense of everyday life in Spain, but your host family will also play a key role in your routine—picking you up from school and ensuring you don’t miss any important aspects of your day. This added level of support allows you to fully experience the local customs, traditions, and lifestyle in a way that extends beyond the classroom. Living with a family helps you build meaningful relationships, offering you the opportunity to practice your Spanish daily and gain insights that you simply wouldn’t get by living on your own or in a shared apartment. It’s an enriching experience that helps you feel more connected to the country and its people.
An experience filled with personal growth
Our High School program offers students an invaluable opportunity for personal growth and development. Living abroad and immersing themselves in a new culture will hep them gain a strong sense of independence, as they navigate daily life in a foreign environment. The school experience alone builds self-confidence, as they learn to manage challenges, make decisions, and adapt to new situations. Additionally, being exposed to different perspectives and ways of life can help them discover their own passions and interests, which are crucial in shaping their future career paths.
By the time our High School students return home, they have a clearer sense of who they are and even have some ideas about what they want to pursue professionally. After the program it is fair to say that they are equipped with the skills and mindset to tackle new opportunities with confidence. This transformative experience not only enhances their academic and language abilities but also prepares them for a successful future, both personally and professionally.
