School

Our partner school is situated in the heart of Madrid, just near the famous Gran Via, Alcala and Cibeles, an area easily reached from any part of the Spanish capital. There are 13 beautiful classrooms, all bright, air conditioned and well equipped. Three other smaller rooms are used for private lessons. You can access the Internet for free in the computer room, and the student lounge is the place to relax between classes and talk (in Spanish!) with other students.
