Valencia

Term: Throughout the year 
Dates: New classes begin every Month

Description: Valencia, the third largest city of Spain is situated on the Mediterranean coast and boasts nice weather throughout the year. There are numerous museums, fabulous beaches and the lively nightlife. There are not many tourists, so while enjoying all benefits of a big, historic city on the Mediterranean coast, the language traveler can be sure to be completely immersed in the Spanish way of life! Our partner school located on the second floor of a 19th-century building just a few blocks from the Plaza de la Virgin and about 15 minutes by public transportation to nice beaches.

School Facilities: The school is located in front of the main University, 10 minutes by public transport from the beach and 10 minutes from the historic center of Valencia. The building is recently renovated and the 24 classrooms are equipped with air conditioning and central heat. There is a small cafeteria and spacious common area, a computer lab with free Internet access, a library and video room for students use. Capacity is around 200 students/day.

Participants: Mostly from Europe and North America.

Highlights: From its dazzling beaches to its ancient castles, Spain is a country as diverse as the cultures which have influenced its art, architecture, music and lifestyle. It is a land where cathedrals and castles are interspersed with skyscrapers, where modern rock mixes with flamenco guitar and night clubs compete with cozy "tapas" bars. Spain offers some of the world's most famous museums, resorts, and festivals, making it a unique and enchanting destination.

AmeriSpan Study Abroad's Mission Statement: Since 1993, AmeriSpan has sent more than 23,000 people abroad. Our staff has three passions: language, culture, and travel. Individually and as a group, we have accumulated experiences and knowledge related to these passions. We have traveled to more than 65 countries - every continent except Antarctica - and speak 10 languages. We are happy to share this enormous amount of relevant knowledge with you. Every AmeriSpan staff member has studied and/or lived abroad for extended periods of time. We understand your questions and concerns because we have personally dealt with the same issues. We have gone to great lengths to make it easier for you than it was for us. After enrolling in a program, you will receive a copy of the "Need-To-Know" fact sheets on the country or countries that you will be visiting. These fact sheets include information about entry requirements, climate, health and many other "Need-To-Know" things. If you still have questions, we'll be happy to answer them. We are neither a language school nor a travel agent we're a hybrid of the two, a language travel organization. AmeriSpan has evaluated hundreds of schools, host families and destinations to determine which programs to offer. Our independence allows us to give you unbiased evaluations of the programs. We do not just list what is included, rather, we clearly state our opinions. Each program description contains a program review that describes what we like and what we don't like about the program. Aside from assisting you with which program to choose, we work hard to make the whole process as simple as possible. AmeriSpan pre-arranges your school, lodging, airport pick-up and other services. With AmeriSpan, you will not have to worry about international wire transfers, international phone calls or dozens of other possible complications with arrangements and money.
