UPDATE: 2020’S TEEN SUMMER PROGRAM DATES AS SCHEDULED
Dear parents,
We are re-opening our school on June 29th, so our Teen Summer Program dates are mantained as scheduled.
Though Valencia has been one of the least affected regions in the country – with the lowest number of cases of COVID’19 infections per 100,000 inhabitants – and the situation is clearly improving, we are fully aware of the uncertainty that these unprecedented times can cause to those parents looking forward to enrolling their kids in our Teen Summer Program in Spain to learn Spanish, yet having issues with booking a course with us. That’s why we have made some changes in our booking conditions to provide some peace of mind.
Firstly, we have extended the deadline for our Early Bird Discount until June 15th, and we have increased it as well. All bookings made before June 15th will have a 10% discount.
In addition to this measure, we have also made some changes to our booking conditions to make them more flexible and adequate for the current situation:
- If a student is unable to travel due to an international ban, a full refund will be made.
- 2020’s Teen Summer Program attendance can be cancelled up to 2 weeks before the beginning of the booking. In that case, we offer the following:
- Postponing the start of the program to a later date, while maintaining the same services and price.
- Using the paid deposit to take another of our online Spanish courses, in-class or online.
- Moving 2020’s booking to our Teen Summer Program 2021.
Our students’ health is of the utmost importance for us so we have implemented strict safety measures to become a ‘Covid-19 Safe School’. We have been granted this title by FEDELE, the Spanish federation of Spanish schools, after approving our prevention and contingency plan teaching ensuring that our students can leanr Spanish in completely safe conditions.
Looking forward to having your kids in our school soon!
The Team of AIP Language Institute
A unique opportunity for cultural immersion in Spain
Our Language Summer School in Spain is ideal for 12 to 18-year-olds, with the perfect combination of fun Spanish or English/French/German lessons and workshops in the morning, and great recreational and cultural activities in the afternoon, with participants from all over the world.
Summer is the perfect time to switch gears, travel and discover new destinations! And our Teen Summer Program combines language learning with fun and adventure.
Valencia is a perfect summer destination: sandy beaches, scrumptious food, safe streets, modern architecture and centuries of history. It has everything 12 to 18-year-olds can ask for.
In addition, they will have the perfect chance to learn such widely spoken languages as Spanish, English, French or German. Being immersed in a Spanish-speaking city combined with an interesting faculty and dynamic language lessons provides the perfect scenario for effective language learning. And AIP Language Institute, as an Instituto Cervantes’ Accredited Centre, is a great choice.
Then, regarding accommodation, participants stay with a local host family which provides an even greater immersion experience and an invaluable way to learn more about Spanish culture. Plus, all the families have been collaborating with us for many years, and really know how to make the students feel at home!
Valencia: learn Spanish or English and discover the Mediterranean lifestyle
Valencia offers the perfect mix! Attractive cultural activities and amazing leisure opportunities for juniors during summertime. Over 30 activities are offered throughout the program and they are all included in the course price
That’s right! Everything on location is included, from sailing courses, to kayaking in the mountain rivers, amusement park tickets – including the extraordinary City of Arts and Sciences -, along with great weekend trips to Peñíscola, Calpe and Jávea, among many other destinations.
Furthermore, everyone can fully enjoy the beach, as it’s only 10 minutes away from the school by tram.
