What can we offer?

Our goal is to provide students with the experience of language and cultural immersion in Spain by attending Spanish classes during the morning and participating in cultural activities during the afternoon, although in some cases we have organised it the other way around: activities and excursions in the morning and Spanish classes in the afternoon.

To complete this enriching experience, students stay with carefully selected host families located within a maximum 25-minute walk from our school to get to know and experience Spanish culture from within. However, we also offer the option of accommodation in student apartments and hotels.

We offer tailor-made courses for groups of any age. Dates, duration, class schedule, activities, and excursions will be adapted to the group’s interests with a wide range of possibilities, as programs are designed on demand.

Request a quote with no obligation, and we will gladly send you a tailor-made program with activities and excursions in Murcia or other cities in Spain.

We will make your stay in Spain a complete linguistic and cultural learning experience, where the results can be seen day by day.

Real case:

In 2023, a group of 18 16-year-old girls and boys from Germany attended our school in the city of Murcia for a week. They took 20 Spanish classes in the afternoon and spent the mornings attending cultural training workshops, conversation classes, and group work that led them to explore the city.
The students also attended personalized pronunciation classes that helped them with their specific difficulties caused by L1 interference.
Accommodation with host families was provided on a half-board basis (two meals a day) so that each student had their own room or shared it with a friend.
Two group leaders attended free of charge and stayed at a central Murcia hotel with breakfast included.

The total price for this all-inclusive immersion course for one week was € 425 per person.

Here’s another instance of a personalized programme created for a group that came to us from Texas, USA. A specially crafted itinerary was developed, allowing them to maximize their extended journey from home by exploring multiple Spanish cities.

You’ll find that we can arrange a customized programme for your group, whether it involves visits to different cities or dedicating the entire duration to a single city.

What are the objectives of these programmes?

This tailored course for groups offers a unique opportunity for students to learn in a personalised way. The course will be adapted to the specific needs and budget of each group, allowing students to delve into topics that interest them and develop their skills individually.

The course also offers the opportunity to meet other Spanish students of the same age and with similar interests, which will help foster the exchange of ideas and collaboration.

We also offer the opportunity for accompanying teachers to have professional conversations about teaching Spanish as a foreign language and the methodology of our teaching team, who will offer a wide range of knowledge and experience.

This combination of personalised learning, exchange of ideas, and teacher expertise will make the course a unique and unforgettable experience for everyone.

What are the host families in Murcia like?

At Instituto Hispánico de Murcia, we understand that the quality and safety of accommodation are essential when a group of students comes to study Spanish in Murcia.

Although we have the possibility of offering different types of accommodation, we always recommend homestay accommodation for many reasons:

You will enjoy an authentic local experience.
It is a true ‘home away from home’ experience.
You will see beyond the tourist route.
You will enjoy traditional home-cooked meals.
You will participate in family traditions.
You will enjoy good company.
You will have enormous opportunities to improve your Spanish learning.
You will observe Spanish cultural practices from inside the home.
You will gain a new family.
It is a very affordable alternative.

Students will feel like one more member of the household and will enjoy total immersion in Spanish culture. Although students have the freedom to have their own key, the group’s responsible leaders and ourselves will have greater control over the students’ arrival times at home.

Depending on the chosen option, accommodation can be in single, double or sometimes triple rooms, with only breakfast, half board (two meals a day), or full board (three meals a day).

There are families with children and without children, with pets or without pets, with a grandmother and without grandmother, vegetarian and non-vegetarian… We will help you find the right family for the group’s needs, although not all of our families are always available.

Many of our families have been in collaboration with us for an extended period, and naturally, we maintain records of their criminal and sexual offense clearances.

Staying with one of our host families in Murcia is the key to an authentic cultural and linguistic immersion. Share your daily life with a local family, practice Spanish in a natural environment, and discover the culture firsthand. A unique experience that will enrich you and make you feel at home.
