“I highly recommend the travel abroad experience because it is very useful to learn a language and to experience a new culture. The Spanish classes and the teachers were very good; everything was taught in Spanish so it is better to improve faster. Madrid is a lovely city with a lot to do especially in the evenings.” (Katherine Mitchell, November2009)

“This was my third time to book a course abroad...

Garden / Terrace Library and/or Magazines CSN approved school for Swedish students Computers and/or Internet Multimedia Self Study Common Room / Lounge Disabled Access

A beautifully renovated school, with large windows and a spacious interior patio creating a peaceful haven away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Your classes will take place in one of the 40 modern and fully-equipped classrooms but, like most students, you will probably want to hang around afterwards to make full use of the internet room, video facilities, library and spacious common areas. There is an excellent team of highly trained teachers and, with a mix of both Spanish and foreign students, the atmosphere here is truly international.
The school is situated in a lively street within walking distance, or a short metro ride, of Madrid's many attractions.

Academic credits - the language programmes we offer in Madrid are approved by the University of Southern Mississippi ('USM'). USM is a fully accredited comprehensive state university. USM's international and foreign language programmes are nationally recognised for their excellence. Students can earn up to 12 hours of undergraduate or 9 hours of graduate credit for their enrolment in our Spanish language programmes. You must complete a 3-week immersion programme with at least 20 hours of class time per week (not including activities) to earn three hours of academic credit. Please visit our website at www.cactuslanguage.com for further details.

Out and About
Being the home of Spain's royal family a reasonable starting point would be the Palacio Real, but it's in art that Madrid really excels itself with the famous Museo del Prado and Centro de Arte Reina Sofia. Sunday is then family day so why not join the madrileños as they head for ice cream in El Retiro park. It's also well worth the day trip to the historical towns of Toledo or Segovia - where else will you be offered suckling pig so tender it is cut with a plate? Also on the outskirts is the monastery of El Escorial, but remember to look up or you'll miss the Valley of the Fallen, a stoic and somewhat controversial reminder of General Franco.
