School to School Exchange with Spain

School to school exchange group

Your school can host a group of Spanish students in the fall and visit Spain in the spring!

If you are an American school administrator looking to enhance your school's curriculum with real life experience, CCI's Spanish/American School to School Exchange program is for you. Working in association with the Foundation for the Future in Spain, CCI will match your school with a Spanish partner school for a reciprocal exchange program. When your school hosts a group of students from Spain, your students will learn about the Spanish language and culture through first-hand experience living and interacting with their Spanish peers. To complete the exchange, your students can travel to Spain for 2-3 weeks at a very low cost. In Spain, your students will be immersed in the Spanish culture, as they will live with Spanish host families, attend classes and participate in cultural activities arranged by your partner school. One teacher from each school can travel for free with a group of 12 or more participants - providing you the opportunity to develop long lasting relationships with colleagues abroad. CCI is currently matching schools for the coming school year. Contact us today to begin an enriching partnership with a Spanish school!
