Short Programs, Big Experiences
Short-term adventures filled with travel, culture, and discovery, created for students and school groups who want a meaningful experience in Spain.
A Taste of Spain, the SGY Way
Our Summer Program, Mini Programs, and School Tours are designed for students and schools looking for meaningful, high-quality international experiences with all the color, culture, and confidence-building that Spanish Gap Year is known for. The Summer Program offers a full month of travel and immersion across some of Spain’s most iconic cities, giving high school seniors and juniors the chance to explore, learn Spanish, try new activities, and build independence before heading off to college or a new school year.
For schools and educators, our Mini Programs and School Tours offer flexible, customizable options that can run for several days or multiple weeks. These shorter experiences bring Spanish language and culture to life through tailored lessons, guided activities, and curated excursions led by trained SGY staff. Whether you’re a student eager for a summer of adventure or a teacher seeking an enriching international trip for your group, these programs provide travel, learning, and growth in a safe, structured, and unforgettable way.
