Montalbán is a medium-sized school with about 1000 students per year. Since 1986, students of all ages from all over the world have been taking Spanish classes in Montalbán. The value emphasized by the school is a friendly atmosphere, favoured by both the small number of students and the specificity of a typical Andalusian building with an internal patio, located in a quiet district, 10 minutes away from the city centre. Friendly relations among the group members and with teachers, as well as the school’s focus on intercultural communication are conducive to rapid progress in Spanish.
Learning a language also means getting closer to the people who use it and their culture. Every afternoon, Montalbán offers a variety of cultural activities and on weekends – one and two-day trips to Andalusia. There is a possibility to organize exchange conversations with students from Granada who are learning the students’ mother tongue, which helps to deepen the knowledge of Spanish and is an opportunity to exchange experiences between the two cultures.
Montalbán guarantees communication in five languages, assistance with travel arrangements, travel insurance and medical care, airport transfer and accommodation for its students. In an emergency situation, you can call a special telephone number, available round-the-clock. At the end of the course, all participants receive a diploma with information about the level and number of hours of classes; it is also possible to take an exam to obtain a “Certificate of Proficiency in Spanish as a Foreign Language”, which defines the actual language proficiency more precisely. The school also offers online courses.
