Transition Year can be an opportunity to experience Spanish school life, improve language confidence and enjoy cultural immersion. We help families explore available school placements and accommodation arrangements based on student age, level, dates and individual needs.

Our recommendations depend on real provider information, dates and programme conditions — not generic package promises.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Good questions. Clear answers.

Not every school or programme works in the same way. Here are the key points to consider.

Can a Transition Year student attend school in Spain for just a month?

Some programmes can consider placements of several weeks. Admission and the minimum period depend on the individual school.

Will the student stay with a host family?

Homestay is an option for certain programmes, but the accommodation model, supervision and availability must be confirmed first.

Can we choose Valencia, Madrid or Barcelona?

We can review these destinations, but no individual school place is guaranteed until the relevant provider confirms availability.

Can tennis or other sports be combined with Transition Year?

A separate sports programme may be possible, subject to school hours, available facilities, age and supervision arrangements.
