PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
SA Sevilla #1 (Seville)

Our partner Spanish language school (SA Sevilla #1) in Seville, Spain is located in one of the premier areas in the heart of Sevilla. The immediate surrounding area is a lively pedestrian area full of historic sites of interest, shops, bars and sidewalk cafes. The Spanish school itself occupies a recently restored 4 story traditional Sevillian style building with bright classrooms and a nice rooftop terrace. We feel that the building and the location within Sevilla, combined with a professional and friendly staff, makes this Spanish language school an excellent place to study and learn Spanish.

From the Spanish language school, virtually all sites of interest are within a short walking distance. Some of the more popular nearby sites include the Royal Palace, the Cathedral, the Town Hall, and some historic park areas.

Overall our past students have rated this school as excellent. The school’s facilities are modern and well-equipped, the teachers are highly qualified, and the program follows the guidelines set by Instituto Cervantes. A great feature about this school is that it is small enough to offer a very personalized experience. The school has a maxium capacity of 60 students and utilizes 8 comfortable classrooms.

The Spanish language school understand that a students´ main object is to be able to communicate in the street and be able to do daily activities within the Spanish environment, therefore the type of methodology utilized is fundamentally communicative, of course with the necessary grammar as well.

In each class students practice the four main skills (reading, writing, oral comprehension, and oral expression) and whenever possible, it is done in an integrated way, as this is how it is in real situations. This way the school converts the Spanish class into the ideal context to be able to reach the communicative objectives proposed in each level.

Part of any good immersion program relates to its cultural component. The Spanish language school in Sevilla offers a nice range of cultural activities and excursions which allow students to discover both the city and the country.
