Madrid's history reaches back into the 10th century as a fortified Moorish town. By 1607 Madrid became Spain's permanent capital and has flourished ever since, blooming into a vibrant, modern city. Visits to the opera, theater, Royal palace and museums are just a sample of the cultural delights Madrid has to offer the international student. It is located near the Portra Del Sol, in the heart of the city, in a very fashionable and affluent quarter. Only a few minutes walk away will lead to the steps of the royal palace and the 'El Prado'.
Students have e-mail access from a nearby cyber cafe.
The program includes many cultural activties both in the afternoon and in the evenings. Apartments are shared with other international students studying at the school. Some Host families or apartments may be located walking distance from the school, others are located within 25 minutes, bus or metro ride from the school. I particularly liked this. Not only do you learn about the Spanish culture but also about many others.
