It is only possible to move forward when looking for ahead.” Alice Munro WHY SPAIN? Studying in Spain has become in recent years a safe bet in education for two main reasons: More than 500 million people in the world speak Spanish. Spanish is the 2nd-ranking language in terms of number of speakers and the second most spoken language in international communication. The international prestige education in Spain has acquired. Education in Spain is compulsory for people under 16 and the education authorities have given citizen of other countries the opportunity to join the education community, making it more rewarding for everyone involved. theiex.com +34 91 161 08 05 9 Spanish education system The high quality of the Spanish education system is internationally recognized. In general terms, three different kinds of schools exist: “escuelas públicas” (state schools), “escuelas privadas” (private schools) and “escuelas concertadas” (semi-private schools). The program hereby presented by theIEX is carried out in private or semi-private schools with host family accommodation or, in some cases, residential accommodation. The Spanish school system is structured in four levels: “Infantil” (3-5 years), “Primaria” (6-11 years), “ESO – Enseñaza Secundaria Obligatoria” (12-15 years) and “Bachillerato” (16-18 years). Our host families Host families are as diverse as the landscape or the traditions in Spain. Spanish society is modern, open to diversity and tolerant with different cultures, but generally speaking, the most usually found is the traditional Spanish family, where one or both members of the couple work outside of the house. It is not strange to find a stay-at-home mom, though. All our host families are carefully selected with help from the schools and are police-checked. 10 theiex.com . +34 91 161 08 05 PROGRAMS IN SPAIN Junior LifeStyle Programs 12 Spanish Summer Camps 12 Junior Academic Programs 14 School Immersion Short Stays 16 Academic Year Program 18 Adult LifeStyle Programs 20 20 Dance & Spanish Program +5021 Adult Professional Programs 22 Intensive & Int+ (DELE ext) 22 Spanish GAP Year 23 Internship & Work Experience 24 theiex.com . +34 91 161 08 05 11 Junior LifeStyle Programs Spanish Summer Camps Our Spanish Summer Camps are the best choice for those young international campers who wish to live a few weeks surrounded by nature in a totally Spanish environment, practising Spanish in a real-life situation, sharing the experience with Spanish campers of the same age and with all the guarantees of security and having fun in some of the most popular destinations in Spain, both in the coast and the mountain.

A country with great experience in hosting foreign students both in their schools and in their language schools.

The National Curriculum was put in place with this law as well as new methods of valuation (Key Stages), measures that improve the quality of education by promoting competition among schools, alternative financing systems that give greater autonomy to schools and programs of cooperation and assistance between them. All this has contributed to make education in the UK internationally recognized. UK has been welcoming international students for decades and the experience of international students in their classrooms is outstanding. Our host families Like in any stay abroad, staying with a family is the option that allows more and better immersion in a country. English culture is well-known in most places in the world and some ideas are not cliché at all: the English accent is hard for most ears and it is difficult to get a handle of the sounds in the first days of the program; tea is a time of great importance and it is interesting to share it with them; British punctuality is a reality; usually they take good care of their homes and cover almost all floors in the house completely with carpets. But they always welcome foreign students with hospitality because hosting has already become a classic in its culture. 52 theiex.com +34 91 161 08 05 PROGRAMS IN UNITED KINGDOM Junior LifeStyle Programs First Steps Program 54 Summer Junior WorkExperience Advanced Steps Program 54 55 Adult LifeStyle Programs 64 Tailored64 56 Intensive56 Adult Professional Programs 65 Exam Preparation57 British WorkExperience 67 Forest School58 Exams Preparation 68 Classes + Outdoor Adventure 59 theIEX British Parent & Child Program Junior Academic Programs 60 School Immersion Program Short Stays 61 Academic Year Program 62 69 Junior Winter Program63 White Week63 Easter Week 63 theiex.com . +34 91 161 08 05 53 Junior LifeStyle Programs England is a country with great experience in hosting foreign students both in their schools and in their language schools.
