AM: SPORTS PROGRAMS

Sports are a great way for children to enjoy getting much
needed exercise, they can teach children valuable life skills
also needed to be successful in life.

The Sport Program has the intensity of an annual program
adapted to shorter weekly periods. Students will
concentrate on the same sport or one sport every week,
enabling them to make large strides in a short time, unlike
the case with a multi-sport program.

Students may choose one of the following sports during their
whole stay or one sport every week:
• Golf
• Horse Riding
• Football (by Real Madrid FC)
• Water Sports
• Tennis
• Paddle
• Dance – Fitness

   Daily Sports (2:30 hrs: 10:00 – 12:30 )
   Students will enroll in this course at different levels
    according to their level and their age.

PM: LANGUAGE & TRAINING
        PROGRAMS
               (Spanish & English Programs)
Every program, both academic and non-academic, is led by
native, bilingual, highly-qualified and professional teachers.
The students will enroll in any of these two courses at
different levels according to their knowledge of the
language and their age. The level of each student will be
determined by a language test on the first day.

1. LEARNING LANGUAGES THROUGH ACTION
With our methodology they will learn new contents and
skills that are essential to their personal and social
development, as they learn, absorb expressions and
vocabulary in another language. Providing a more natural
learning environment than the classroom, they will practice
another language within a context, in a fun and different
way.

2. INTENSIVE SPANISH LESSONS
We endeavor to completely immerse students in the
Spanish language, providing 3 hours a day classroom study
plus many opportunities outside of the classroom to
socialize and take part in activities, gaining confidence and
fluency as they interact with other language speakers.
The teaching system that we use is centered on a
communicative approach and includes diverse didactic
methods: grammar, speaking, listening, vocabulary
pronunciation, oral and written competence.

LITTLE KIDS… BIG SKILLS !
Childhood is a crucial time in human development. The more opportunities children have to put their skills into practice, the greater their
knowledge. Teaching children basic skills for their age, through everyday activities, is not only fun while practicing them, but also fosters their
personal growth and self-confidence.

Everything a child learns in childhood, stays in his head and in his heart forever...!
That's why we've created a special place for the younger ones to discover all they're capable of!

them security and the knowledge to organize, be constant, accountable and autonomous in the future.
