of one of Europe´s largest universities, the school
is only 15 minutes by Metro from the Plaza de España,

one of the major features is a 24-hour reception-area attendant,
a cafeteria, an auditorium, an Internet facility, photo lab,
video/TV room, dining room and an infirmary. The outdoor area
features a well-kept garden area that opens onto a soccer
field, a semi-olympic pool, a gymnasium, a basketball court,
a handball court and a tennis court.

into four lessons per day from Monday to Friday. Each lesson
lasts 45 minutes. Might there be a trip/special activity planned
during a weekday, classes for that day will be given on the
weekend. At the end of the program, and upon its successful
completion, students will be given a certificate and a progress
