Seville is increasingly gaining attention as a destination for international students looking for a cultural, safe, and enriching place to live and study abroad. Recently, we had the pleasure of welcoming Katy Nicketakis, Director of Admissions and Jeff Burroughs, Head of School, at Lincoln Academy (Maine, USA), who visited the city to experience first-hand what makes Seville such an attractive destination for students from around the world.
During her visit, Katy an Jeffrey explored some of the most iconic areas of the city, visited local schools, enjoyed traditional gastronomy, and met with educators and students to learn more about the lifestyle, culture, and educational opportunities that Seville offers. We also arranged a beautiful moment, where Katy reconnected with a former McGrath student that we placed with her 10 years ago, highlighting the lasting impact of international experiences.
With its historic heritage, vibrant cultural scene, welcoming community, and excellent quality of life, Seville provides a unique environment for young people who want to combine academic development with an international experience.
Lincoln Academy has a long-standing tradition of hosting international students and welcomes teenagers from more than 20 countries every year. This global community creates a multicultural learning environment where students not only grow academically but also develop independence, cultural awareness, and lifelong international connections.
As part of her visit, Angela sat down with Katy for a conversation about Seville as a destination for international students, discussing what makes the city special and why experiences abroad are so valuable for young people today.
In the interview, they talk about the importance of cultural immersion, the advantages of studying in an international environment, and why cities like Seville can offer students an unforgettable educational and personal experience.

At McGrath, we believe that international education opens doors, broadens perspectives, and helps students grow both personally and academically.
