PROGRAM DETAILS

The America International School Program is orientated towards foreign students between 15 to 18 years old who would like to take an E.S.O (L.O.E.) or Bachillerato course (grades 9-12) in a Spanish High School.

The students have the opportunity of choosing between an entire academic year (10 months) or just one semester (6 months).

HOST FAMILIES

Hosting a foreign student is considered an excellent way to learn about new cultures without leaving the home. Host families can be young or old, have kids or not, and they can even be made up of only one family member. However all of the host families must share the same goal: to offer affection, understanding and well-being to the hosted student.

During their stay, the students will be part of the host family as an official family member enjoying the same rights and obligations. The students have to be respectful and tolerant with the family rules and should share their opinions and concerns with the host family.
