Very enjoyable experience despite the fact surfing cancelled because no waves!Staff very pleasant and eager to help-grammar class was good but conversation class could have been more structured and better taught.On the whole a well run school.

The only problem I had with the school was that it was a bit disorganised. Also, I think they should provide paper and pens, in the case where the student didnt think to bring them.

Overall, everything was fine. However I thought the content of some of the classes could have been a bit more practical. For example, one class was devoted entirely to learning about animals such as Elephants, Giraffes, monkeys etc. I thought there could have been more practical information taught here instead.

Homestay Single	Half Board	€175
Placement Fee: None The selection of suitable families is also rigorously controlled so that as well as the high quality of your accommodation, you will be able to immerse yourself in everyday Spanish life and understand the defining characteristics of Spanish families. This is a great way of progressing rapidly in Spanish; to practice what you have learnt in real social situations. The families we choose are informed of the level of Spanish the student has. They are asked to use gestures or to point out objects they name when necessary and are conscious of the need for the student to feel comfortable and happy in their learning environment. The student will learn to understand the way of life and customs of Spanish families as well as developing linguistic skills. The student should try to integrate him or herself in order to benefit fully from this experience. The different options are Half board or Full board. * Half board - includes lodging, breakfast, dinner and laundry service. * Full board - includes lodging, breakfast, lunch, dinner and laundry service. Breakfast is served between 8.00 and 8.45 am, Mondays to Fridays; breakfast is served later at weekends. Breakfast is a light meal in Spain and generally consists of coffee, toast, cereal and juice. Lunch is served between 2.00 and 3.30 pm. This is the main meal of the day and can include soup, paella, local stew (with lentils, green beans, beans, potatoes etc.) or salad, fish, beef, chicken, vegetable and so on. Dinner is usually served between 9.15 and 10.30 pm. This is a lighter meal than lunch and can be an omelette, fish or chicken with salad etc. Students may join their host family from 3.00 pm Sunday and will leave by mid-day Saturday. The person responsible for the placement of students is available to help students or to answer questions or receive suggestions in the school office. In the Spanish family you also have the possibility to choose between individual room or double room. You will only be able to choose a double room when two students or a couple sign up together.
