Center for Cross-Cultural Study

The Center for Cross-Cultural Study has been in operation in Sevilla since 1969 and is affiliated with a number of top U.S. Universities. They have only recently begun to offer this 3 1/2 week program specifically tailored for high school students. Programs are also available in Alicante, Spain, Córdoba, Argentina, and occasionally in La Habana, Cuba.

While there are two program time periods available in Spain, typically only the second one doesn’t overlap FHUHS’ own schedule.

Fees includes family housing with full board, tuition, orientation, local travel and fees, medical insurance, and computer and e-mail access. Financial aid is available.

For more information, see the Center for Cross-Cultural Study website for their high school program.

Saint Louis University in Madrid

A summer camp, founded in 2003, based on the exchange of language and culture for both students of Spanish and students of English aged between 12 and 17. Due to the ratio of at least 1:5, and usually more than 1:10, English speakers to Spanish speakers, those who come to learn Spanish find themselves in a privileged language immersion situation.

The program is based in Badajoz, Spain, southwest of Madrid near the Portuguese border. For more informatoin, see the Operación inglés website
