School

At the heart of the Argüelles district, our partner school is located only 5 minutes' walk away from the Plaza de España and the Gran Via, often called "Spain's Broadway" thanks to the numerous theatres and shows which are represented there. Recently renovated, our school has, over three floors, 38 bright and spacious classrooms. Numerous common areas will allow students to relax during breaks and to eat a snack (numerous vending machines are available for use). A room with several computers offers you unlimited Internet access and students with their own laptop will be able to make use of the Internet connection throughout the building.
