This special summer course for
students aged 13 to 16 combines Spanish study with a holiday
in the famous city of Salamanca. Spanish lessons in small
classes are combined with activities and excursions, as
students experience a new culture
and make international friends.
The Spanish Course The Spanish course is the most
important part of the junior programme. Classes are held
daily and homework is always assigned. The teachers are
demanding and only Spanish is spoken in the classroom.
In three hours daily, students study and practise all aspects
of the Spanish language: grammar and composition, vocabulary
and conversation. Students who successfully meet the course
objectives receive a Diploma at the end of the course.
Accommodation Accommodation and food are very important
parts of the Spanish experience. Spanish homes. Our families
are carefully selected and each one has been visited. Two
students share a room. Some families have children of their
own. The families live near the school -10 to 20 minutes
on foot- and students take part in family life.
The three main meals of the day are all included. Students
receive a packed lunch with sandwiches and fruit on excursion
or pool days. Estudio Sampere ensures that the meals are
healthy and balanced. It is essential to note any special
dietary needs on the registration form.
Activities The Junior Course includes cultural,
sports and many other activities at no extra cost. A different
activity is planned for each day except Sunday, including:
visits to museums, group events, a day at the swimming
pool and excursions and field
trips outside Salamanca.
Meeting young people from other countries is a rewarding
part of the programme, broadening the students' view of
the world. The activities permit and encourage these contacts.
All activities are supervised by Estudio Sampere personnel.
