Junior Summer Course

Welcome to Lacunza ~ Youth Programmes ~ Junior Summer Course

One of our most popular courses! For 14-17s, spend the summer in San Sebastian. Learn Spanish, meet people from all over the world, do something different this summer!

Description

San Sebastian - City, Sea, and Mountain - is the ideal destination to study Spanish especially for juniors (14-17yrs). Upon arrival, even the most discerning traveler is engaged in the warmth and beauty of the city. San Sebastian is the best of both worlds for younger travelers. While it presents an array of cultural opportunities across a beautiful, unique backdrop; San Sebastian is small enough to be safe, comfortable, and less overwhelming than its larger European counterparts. During the 12 weeks this course is available our junior programme will take advantage of everything that San Sebastian has to offer combining sports, excursions, culture, history and events.

The course consists of 5 classes a day in groups of 4-12 students, organized activities 3 afternoons per week, and a full-day excursion every Saturday. Juniors are supervised by a school monitor who coordinates teachers, host families, organisation of activities, and the overall well being of the students. However, students will have two free afternoons as well as all day Sunday to get to know their host family and become familiar with Spanish traditions and culture.

Accommodation With a Family

Each student will be placed with a family with whom they will live during their stay here. Breakfast and dinner will take place with the family. This system works well because the student receives the support of a family structure and will be looked after when not participating in school functions.

The families we use for this programme are carefully chosen with the junior programme in mind. The student will receive a warm welcome and become another member of the household. Students must respect the programme schedule and inform the family of any outings they have during the designated free time periods.
