Arriving in Marbella

Supervision
 The
counselors, Camp Coordinators and the Camp Directors who supervise
students are Spaniards experienced in their fields who the school
selects and motivates to return year after year. They are selected
for their dedication and attention to our students. The younger
students, ages 5-14, will receive a maximum amount of supervision
and will always be in the company of a school employee. Older
students receive a moderate amount of supervision because there
will be time when they are not supervised (walking to school,
shopping, etc.) Older students (those born in 1988 or before)
are allowed 3 off campus trips per two week session. They are
required to contact their counselor/director before leaving the
campus.
