High School Study Abroad in Barcelona, Spain

You’re on the brink of adulthood, and the promises of independence, adventure, and world travel await...but can you? You’re here, so we’re guessing “no.” Wise thinking, young country-hopper. There lies a land on the Mediterranean Sea, both Gothic and Modernist, littered with whimsical architecture, peppered with outrageously good food, and intricately linked by an exceptional public transport system. A land where the fourth-most spoken language is shared among friends on four-hour long lunch breaks. And the best part? When you do high school abroad in Barcelona, you get to call it home.

They explored many places including the southern mountain town of Estavar in France, the Spanish beach town of Pineda de Mar, Montblanc and, of course, spent a lot of time exploring Barcelona. They took her to...

Thanks to its famously temperate weather, teen travel in Barcelona isn't limited to summer school situations. High school abroad in Barcelona has everything to offer, all year round! 

Considering how widely-spoken Spanish is internationally, Barcelona high school programs in language immersion are ideal for growing globetrotters.
