The city and university collaborate to provide a cultural program that features theater, ballet, and concerts. Summer students also can take advantage of a weekly series of field trips sponsored by the Cursos Internacionales to the south of Spain, Toledo, El Escorial, Segovia, Madrid, Lisbon, and other destinations. The IES Salamanca Summer program enrolls approximately twenty students each session and is designed for students who want to improve their Spanish language skills through a full-immersion language program. Classes are offered by Cursos Internacionales de la Universidad de Salamanca, one of the preeminent centers in the teaching of Castilian Spanish.
Students take a placement exam and are placed in one of nine language levels.
