High School Exchange in Spain (15-18 years old)

In Spain, exchange students experience a culture that places strong emphasis on family and friendship. You’ll enjoy shared meals with your entire host family and adapt to a relaxed lifestyle that often includes a two-hour lunch break in the middle of the day. During your study abroad program, you’ll learn to appreciate the distinct regions of Spain—such as Catalonia or Galicia—each with its own language, customs, and cultural identity.

No Language Requirement! Whether you speak the language or not, you’ll pick it up naturally through school, family life, and everyday conversations.
