The capital of Andalucia is considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in Spain and certainly one which keeps alive the spirit of its traditions. Flamenco, sevillanas, bull-fighting, Semana Santa and the lively atmosphere in the streets and along the riverside all make the city a special place to be all year round. The unique Feria de Abril which takes place every April is the most colourful and traditional festival in the city.

Our school is located in the heart of Seville, within walking distance of all major places of interest in the centre. The main school building is a prime example of traditional Andalucian architecture, with a central patio and large, sunny terraces. It has 25 modern classrooms, a library, study room, a bookshop specialising in language materials, internet access,  WIFI areas and air-conditioning throughout.

Minimum age is 16 years (except for Teen Summer Course)
