Program Description

ESTUDIO SAMPERE
Estudio Sampere has four schools offering full immersion Spanish language programs in Spain at the following locations: Madrid, Salamanca, Puerto de Santa Maria and Alicante. Their full immersion Spanish courses are conducted in the same fashion at each place, following the same curriculum and using the same materials making it possible to combine Spanish language courses at any of their locations (perfect for those looking for variety of locations without detriment to their Spanish language learning!).

Estudio Sampere is a well-known Spanish language center established in 1956. All Sampere Spanish schools offer individual attention in small classes, quality teaching in a friendly environment, qualified Spanish teachers, up-to-date materials, an international atmosphere, flexible starting dates, social and cultural activities and a choice of excellent value accommodations. Estudio Sampere is committed to quality - a key factor in their long-lasting success. Their books and teaching material have all been developed in-house, taking into consideration the latest teaching methods as well as the experience of more than 40 years of teaching Spanish as a foreign language. All five Spanish schools meet the quality criteria that international organizations expect and demand.
The center in Madrid has a permanent team of qualified Spanish teachers. It is located in one of the most elegant, traditional districts of Madrid: El barrio de Salamanca. Estudio Sampere Madrid has 16 air-conditioned classrooms, a common area, video-room, a library and it has been recently refurbished. Several bus lines and 2 subway stations nearby make it easily accessible from any area of Madrid. Retiro Park (a must for a visit!) is just one block away and the Prado museum as well as several other important monuments are within walking distance. This center hosts over 1000 foreign students and four hundred Spanish students a year. It is also a founding member of IALC (International Association of Language Centers), a member of various chambers of commerce, and it is an Instituto Cervantes Accredited Center.
