Our school

Welcome to Colegio Internacional Alicante

All the teachers are University Graduates, with many years of teaching experience of Spanish for foreigners.

The familiar way our highly qualified teachers interact with the students, creates a friendly, dynamic and young atmosphere.

Our School runs courses of six different levels: Beginner A1, elementary A2, intermediate B1, upper intermediate B2, advanced C1, superior C2.

We always offer 4 basic levels all year round: A and B. We will open a group even with one student only.

There is a programme of extra-curricular activities:

Our methodology is active and communicative. The student speaks from the starting day.

Visits to the city

Beach parties

Art exhibitions

Excursions to nearby villages

Theatre plays

Golf or adventure sports

Spanish films

Salsa lessons

All modern teaching methods are employed and a very personalised teaching service is provided which caters for the needs of the individual students. Groups consist of an average of 6 to 12 participants, intermittently also up to 14.  Our students come from all over the word: German, Dutch, Scandinavian… are the most popular nationalities you can find during your stay with us. Mostly of then are in their 20’s, but we also welcome senior students.  An hour of instruction consists of 50 min.

Students are given a level test on line before of arrival and the first day are placed in class according to their knowledge of the Spanish Language. We insist that all our students complete daily homework exercises and attend all their classes. This is to enable the whole class to progress rapidly and at the same pace.

An Attendance Certificate will be issued by Colegio Internacional Alicante at the end of the course, but we reserve the right to refuse such a certificate to any student who did not attend 80% of the classes or an Academic Progress Certificate. In this case, in addition to class attendance, you must obtain an average 70% between:

  • The written exam (70%)
  • Participation and activities in class (30%)
