Our partner school Expanish is located in the neighborhood of Eixample in Barcelona. The area is full of incredible restaurants and within walking distance of Sagrada Familia and a short ride to the beach. The school is located in a stunning, historic building. The building offers bright classrooms, flooded with natural light and meticulously crafted to optimize students' learning experiences. The communal areas are designed to foster interaction and collaboration among students. The school building offers two floors, one of which is exclusive for 30+ students. It includes dedicated reception and common areas, with all facilities tailored to the unique educational needs of the more mature students. Landmarks such as Casa Battló and Casa Milà are nearby.
Expanish offers a variety of different activities every week, so that you can practice the language outside of the classroom, get in touch with your international fellow students and to immerse yourself into the city and culture on site. Every week there are at least 4 free activities, and the activities are divided into 4 categories: Academic, Cultural and Recreational, Social, and Welcome Activities.
The school also organizes excursions on the weekends, for which apply additional fees, that allow students to travel with their classmates to explore the destinations outside of the city. Spain is a diverse country and has many unique cultural destinations and natural attractions to see apart from in Barcelona. Examples for excursions are Girona, Montserrat, and Sitges, among others. Students sign up and pay for excursions after arrival.
