Academic excellence programs with international recognition are developed at many of our partnering schools, such as The International Baccalaureate Program and the 1:1 iPad Program sponsored by Apple.
Academic support classes
There’s no better way for your child to enrich his or her Spanish than spending time with a native student. For our academic semester and full year students, Hola Spain offers an Ambassador Program in which the study abroad student is assigned a Spanish peer who speaks English and who will help your child to adjust to the new environment during the first weeks.
Most of these Spanish “buddies” have previously been an exchange student themselves in the US, England or Ireland.
They have a perfect understanding of the cultural differences, they have also been through the challenges of studying abroad and therefore are a wonderful support for your child.
Ambassador Program
In addition to the compulsory subjects, students may complement their studies with extra-curricular activities according to their preferences (sports, dance, theatre,…).
The students will also have the chance to enjoy beautiful cultural and leisure activities, giving them the opportunity to grow in knowledge of European culture and traditions such as soccer, equestrian arts and flamenco dance, in addition to fun weekend plans visiting beautiful cities nearby.
Spain is a modern, vibrant and incredibly safe country where students can freely enjoy their time here and make the best of this study abroad experience!
Accomodation with a host family
The students on our academic year program may choose between boarding houses with fantastic facilities or selected Spanish host families. In case of choosing a native host family, in addition to learning Spanish the student will learn firsthand about their culture. They are carefully selected families with good living standards who are interested in cultural exchange, offering a “home away from home”.
Students will have a great opportunity to improve their language skills by immersing themselves in a 100% Spanish environment. Homestays also allow them to experience native customs by the hand of locals, as well as traditional home-cooked meals and general daily life in Spain with a family.

Stay at a boarding
Those who prefer to stay at a boarding house will benefit from a student environment in which fellowship, friendship, trust and honesty are inherent. In addition, the experience of living in a student residence demands a high degree of independence and responsibility, providing them with the ideal preparation for their adult life. They will have the opportunity not only to meet, but to live with students from different parts of the world.
The student residences at our boarding schools offer first-rate facilities which commonly include swimming pool, gym, library, study rooms, TV lounges, and fantastic outdoor sports areas. They are located in beautiful settings in vibrant cities, some of them just minutes away from the beach! A perfect place to feel home away from home. Students will enjoy programmes and activities in a homely environment which promotes unity and an understanding of cultural differences.
Grade validations and Visa attainment
Hola Spain works closely with the students’ hometown schools to assure that requirements are met for a correct grade validation, assisting them in their course selection and processing the necessary documents.
We assists the student in the procedures for visa acquisition, providing the required documents from Spain. Upon arrival, we accompany the student to the Ministry of Immigration where they receive their temporary student resident ID.
Supervision and Security
Safety for all our participants is our number one concern and although Spain is one of the safest countries in the world, our services ensure that our students have the necessary assistance at all times.
Pre-arrival information: We provide the students extensive information about their program, their adaptacion process, cultural differences, and many other aspects to seek the best adjustment to their new environment.
Orientation meeting: Students receive an intensive orientation meeting upon their arrival to Spain, allowing them to ask all their questions and receive first-hand, practical information regarding all aspects of their program and get a better idea of what they are going to experience during their year abroad.
Local coordinator: Students are assigned an English speaking supervisor who will offer them all the necessary assistance and advice, with absolute availability, during their entire stay. They will monitor the students’ progess, offering the natural parents a report regularly in their native language.
