Our school was founded in the Spanish city of Granada with the objective of providing high-quality academic services and inter cultural programs to students and diverse groups who would like to learn about and experience new cultures, with particular focus on countries in the Mediterranean region.
At our school, we consider education and training to be pivotal in enhancing inter cultural dialog that transcends national constraints, and is in keeping with the philosophy of its founders. Our vision is therefore to help unite cultures and promote global understanding through academic and cultural programs, student exchange programs and worldwide education.
In response to what is becoming an increasingly globalist world, our school considers the promotion of cultural diversity as a valuable asset to be fundamental, in addition to reciprocal knowledge and mutual respect among peoples and groups whose cultures differ.
Our mission is to bring greater prominence to inter cultural dialog as a means to create a dynamic, diverse society. Financial motivations aside, and in advocacy of identity processes and cultural diversity, we value the dialog between different cultures and civilizations, which today plays a more crucial role than ever in the global context of political, social and cultural worldwide cooperation.
As a result of close collaboration with our worldwide network of partners, we guarantee each and every one of our clients all-round excellence and fresh, innovative programs.

Other Activities:
Each week, our school organizes an activity program for its students, which includes seminars and conferences, parties, concerts, shows, Spanish film screenings, workshops, etc. Besides studying Spanish, we imagine that you will want to get to know Andalusia: explore the countryside, enjoy the delicious Spanish cuisine, make friends with Spanish people and uncover the delights of the region's biggest cities, and our school is more than happy to help acquaint you!
We will organize excursions to the best cities and attractions in Andalusia, starting with Granada itself, home to the Alhambra, the magnificent Arabic stronghold and palace. With its breathtaking views of the city, it is one of the greatest architectural triumphs and legacy of the seven hundred-year occupation of North African Arabs in Andalusia.
Next up is the beautiful, walled city of Cordoba, home to the magnificent Mezquita – part-Arabic mosque and part-Christian cathedral. Cordoba is steeped in history and culture, and during the 11th century was a great university city boasting numerous libraries, as well as being one of the first cities in Europe to have street lighting. The Andalusian capital, Seville, is another must-see with its wealth of architectural monuments and places of interest, such as the Cathedral, the Giralda minaret, the royal palace; Reales Alcazares, the Plaza de España and the picturesque neighborhood of Barrio de Santa Cruz.
Ronda, is one of the most ancient Spanish cities, and was described by Ernest Hemingway as being the best place to spend a honeymoon, who considered the entire city and its surroundings to be an idyllic backdrop for romance. Also worth visiting is the three thousand year-old city of Cadiz, (the oldest in Europe), Malaga; capital of the Costa del Sol, perched on the edge of the Mediterranean coastline and one of Southern Europe’s outstanding tourist areas, Nerja; a city that Arab writer Ibn Said once likened to an alquería (farmstead), has luscious greenery and is bordered by the Chillar river. Its flourishing silk trade is said to have been famous in Damascus itself. And let's not forget Marbella, favored by the international jet-set and one of the cities that is most representative of Mediterranean tourism - and a lot more besides!
For the most adventurous among you why not venture into the African continent? Our school will organize a weekend in Morocco for all students enrolled on a culture and language program so they gain a first-hand experience of daily life in Morocco, and of the culture that once had enormous influence upon the traditions, lifestyle and architectural heritage that are prevalent throughout Andalusia and Granada today.

You will find us in the famous Plaza Bib-Rambla in the heart of the Spanish city of Granada – a perfect location for our students. This beautiful square originally stood on the sandy banks of Granada’s river and is locally referred to as "Gate of the River", derived from the Arabic Bibarrambla.
This tourist hot spot is one of Granada's most delightful areas. Views of the adjacent Cathedral, considered to be the city’s most emblematic monument, are breathtaking, and provide the perfect backdrop against which to enjoy a few delicious aperitifs.
