Your Barcelona Base:
best of both worlds.

Perfect for GCSEs & A-Levels
Immersion is one of the best ways to build the oral fluency and cultural confidence that examiners look for. Give your teen a real edge.

Afternoon
Activities, workshops , and time with your host family and friends. From cooking classes to art, water sports to flamenco -everyday is different (3 days a week).
Noon
After morning classes, students head home for a proper Spanish lunch — the main meal of the day. Time to enjoy with your family, cool off by the pool, and recharge before the afternoon's adventures.
Evening
Dinner with your host family. This is where the real immersion happens -real conversations, real culture, real life.
Weekends
One full day of group adventure (Montserrat, Costa Brava or the best of Barcelona...). The other day is yours with your host family.

Not your typical language holiday.
Plenty of companies send teens to Spain for the summer.
What makes Vivid Spanish different?
We don't just teach Spanish.
We make you live it!
This is not mass educational tourism.
A PROGRAM THAT FITS -REALLY
Every programme is carefully tailored to each group.
We take the time to understand:
-
each student's profile
-
their needs
-
their goals
We even get to know them before they even arrive, so we can:
-
match them with the right host family
-
design an experience that truly fits
DESIGNED WITH CARE. DELIVERED WITH HEART
Small, personal groups.
An exclusive residential neighbourhood just outside Barcelona
(one of the safest and most desirable in the region)
Carefully selected host families. Not a dormitory. Not a hotel.
A real family and a real window to Spanish life.
Local experts who know the city deeply.
-and that means your teen gets the best of it-.
And a level of personal care and attention that let you relax as a parent.
Regular updates & clear communication.
