Tapas and ancient temples. Picasso and paella. Quirky, colorful buildings that look straight out of a Dr. Seuss book. In Barcelona, you’ll discover all this and more. Museums display bold works by Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, and Joan Miró. The buildings themselves are as impressive as the masterpieces inside. Delicious food abounds, with specialties unique to the Catalonian region like creamy custard and caramel desserts. Here, you’ll study the standard Spanish language, also known as Castilian, and get exposed to the regional Catalan language. Not to worry: In Barcelona, 98% of the population speaks “regular” Spanish, even if they also speak Catalan. The city is a fascinating place to discover linguistic differences while ramping up your Spanish vocabulary and conversational skills. After daily language and culture classes, you’ll head out on the town for group activities, museum trips, and downtime in local parks and cafes. On evenings and weekends with your homestay, you’ll get into the rhythm of Spanish life while shopping, kicking around a soccer ball, hitting the beach, and helping to prepare meals with host siblings and friends.

LITA is a full-immersion program that offers high school students a dynamic experience far removed from English-speaking tourism. Participants advance their language skills through small, intimate groups of 12-16 students and three group leaders, with extensive homestay experiences in small towns, internships, and other off-the-beaten-path adventures. At the same time, they acquire a genuine understanding of Spanish culture as part of a safe, structured, and personalized immersive experience.

This informs all elements of our programs.
