MIDDLE SCHOOL

Middle school is a unique transitional time into full adolescence.  Students in these ages of 10-14 are ready to explore their environment more intensely and develop more meaningful interpersonal relationships in the community. 

Taking this age group on our cultural immersion program aligns with new 21st century educational goals that are aimed at incorporating cultural competency and environmental responsibility to prepare young people for meaningful careers and to fully participate in the emerging global society.  We aim to awaken a curiosity about another language and culture and motivate one to become a lifelong learner of the Spanish language.

All of our three immersion programs are very high quality educational cross-cultural experiences for middle school students.  Click on program title for more information about what is included and to view itineraries.
