Do you need help preparing for the IB® Spanish exam? This program is a golden opportunity to level up your Español, go on a study abroad adventure, and enjoy one of the most beautiful, historic, and culturally vibrant cities in Europe. All at the same time!
Based in Seville, Spain, this program provides you with a chance to live in the capital of Andalusia—the sun-drenched southern region of Spain. A city filled with world-class attraction, historic buildings, picturesque palaces, ornate churches, fairy tale-like gardens, elegant fountains, and a lively atmosphere of outdoor cafes, cobblestone streets, and bustling plazas.
Flamenco, tapas, and other quintessentially Spanish traditions were born in Sevilla. It’s the perfect backdrop for getting help on your IB® Spanish exam by attending this preparation course, which feature small class sizes, experienced teachers, and lessons tailored specifically to the needs of IB® Spanish students.
Well, you don’t have to just picture it. Our pre-AP® Spanish program in Seville offers high school students all of the above and more!
In Sevilla, you’ll be in an ideal place to attend one of our summer programs in Spain for high school students. Sevilla is the quintessential city of the Spanish culture: culturally vibrant, historically deep-rooted, and outstanding architecture, the birthplace of flamenco, tapas, bullfighting, and other iconic Spanish traditions.
Here, you’ll be surrounded by 2,200 years of Spanish history, 10 palaces, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and numerous other attractions. Relish a picturesque backdrop of cobblestone streets, charming old buildings, fragrant orange trees, lively plazas, and tranquil gardens. Highlights include the largest gothic cathedral in the world and one of Spain’s most historic neighborhoods, both of which are within a mere five-minute walk from the classrooms where our high school Spanish programs take place in the summer.
The world’s largest Gothic cathedral was first constructed way back in the 12th century and its magnificence truly deserves its UNESCO World Heritage Site status. Its entrance is only five minutes’ walk away from Centro MundoLengua’s headquarters and inside visitors are always amazed at the scale of the cathedral’s nave and its 80 chapels that line it. Closer inspection of the cathedral’s interior is rewarded with fascinating artwork, altarpieces, carvings and even the tomb of none other than Christopher Columbus himself..
This giant semi-circular plaza may be one of the city’s youngest landmarks, having been constructed as recently as 1928, but in that time it has quickly found its place among Sevilla’s most historic attractions. An arching fountain sits in the center and is faced by tiled alcoves built into the main edifice that have been dedicated to all of Spain’s provinces, and low bridges cross over shallow canals in which rowing boats can be hired to give the visitor a different perspective of the plaza. The 100-acre Parque de María Lusia opposite boasts an array of beautiful gardens and additional features under a shaded canopy of trees, and so spectacular is the Plaza de España that it inspired the directors of Star Wars to film right here.
Adjoined onto the cathedral is the single most iconic landmark of all Sevilla. La Giralda bell tower was originally the minaret of a mosque that was located at this site, before it was incorporated into the designs of the Catholic conquerors for the cathedral after they captured the city. And if you manage to climb all 340 feet of it to get to the top, your reward will be some of the finest views in all Sevilla.
Another of Sevilla’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites may already be familiar to viewers of the hit TV series Game Of Thrones. Inside this majestic palace and royal gardens, visitors are able to view some of the purest examples of Andalusia’s Mudéjar architectural style, along with plazas, courtyards, fountains and pools lined with stunning flowers of varying colors and proud orange trees – the tree that is most synonymous with the city itself.
The above list only scratches the surface of Sevilla’s many attractions. Other highlights include the following: · The Plaza de Toros, one of the most famous bullfighting rings in Spain. · Archivo de Indias: another UNESCO World Heritage Site where some of Spain’s most important historical archives are closely guarded. · The Torre del Oro; a riverside tower built in the 13th century that shines in the evening sun. · Palacio de las Dueñas; the birthplace of poet Antonio Machado is a 15th century palace, famous for its striking flower-covered facade and its unusual fusion of both Gothic and Moorish architectural styles. ·And more museums than you could ever think possible, including the Sevilla Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions, the Flamenco Museum and the Archeological Museum of Sevilla.

Before you arrive in Spain, we’ll ask you to take an online placement exam. We’ll also ask you to tell us the number of years of high school Spanish classes you’ve completed.
Living with a Spanish host family is like home away from home—with a few added benefits: enjoying homemade Spanish meals, making new friends, and practicing your Spanish in a natural, real-life setting! Your host family will live in a middle-class home (most likely an apartment), where you will find all of the standard amenities of modern life. You will probably share a bedroom with a friend or another student from the study abroad program. You will also probably share a bathroom (European homes tend to have fewer bathrooms than those in the US, Canada, and Asia). All meals are included with your stay. Special dietary needs can be met; all you need to do is inform us about them in advance. On top of meals, your host family will also take care of your laundry! Like families everywhere, each of our host families is different, so it’s difficult to generalize about them. For example, some have children and/or pets; others do not. However, you can rest assured that each of our host families has been carefully selected by our housing staff, and each of their homes has been personally visited by our housing director to make sure it will provide you with a comfortable, enjoyable place to live, relax, dine, and gain first-hand experience of Spanish culture and hospitality. We maintain a network of host families with whom we have worked for many years. Therefore, it is not like we will accommodate you with some random family. You can feel confident that you will be in good hands! If you need any assistance during your stay, our housing team will be available to provide support.
You will have at least 3.5 hours per day—sometimes up to 6. It will depend on which activity we have organized, how much time you have to factor in for travel time, and whether you are attending the nighttime activity, which will sometimes be optional.
You will have 24/7 adult supervision and support while you attend our program. That being said, the word “supervision” makes it sound kind of oppressive, and that is not what it is like at all. We are here just to keep you safe, make sure you have a good time, and help you out if you need any assistance, not to breathe down your neck! Thanks to our extensive, experienced, and knowledgeable network of teachers, directors, coordinators, and host families, you will feel very well-supported during your time with us here in Spain. Every day, there will be someone to check in with you and make sure you are okay during your classes, activities, and excursions (all of which are adult-led), and you will be able to contact someone from our staff for assistance 24/7.
Yes and yes! You’ll have opportunities to participate in language exchanges and/or sports games with local Spanish high school students. As for international high school students, there will most likely be students from other countries attending your program and/or other programs that we run during the same time as yours. Our students typically come from a variety of locations in the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia.
