The school is just a short ride or bike trip from the beach, the City of Arts and Sciences, and the beautiful Turia park. Students can enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle—relaxing on the beach after class, exploring the city’s rich culture, and enjoying its sunny weather year-round.

Our experienced teachers provide focused training to help students become familiar with exam formats and strategies. Students can join group preparation courses or book private lessons for more personalised support. Exam preparation can be combined with general Spanish courses for a more complete learning experience.

More Features

Españolé welcomes students of all ages—from teens to seniors—and from over 80 different nationalities, creating a rich, diverse, and inclusive environment where everyone feels at home. We are a medium-sized school, which allows us to offer a personal and friendly approach, where each student receives individual attention and quickly becomes part of our international community. Our activity programme adds real value to the student experience, with three free activities every week, such as guided tours, language exchanges, and cultural workshops, along with many optional events like weekend excursions, beach sports, or cooking classes. A unique feature of our school is the presence of a section of Valencia’s ancient Arab wall, preserved inside the building. It reflects the deep cultural heritage that surrounds students every day as they learn Spanish in the heart of the city.

I had an amazing experience at Españolé! The teachers were supportive, the school is beautiful, and I made friends from all over the world. I really improved my Spanish.

The school is right in the city centre and full of life. I loved the cultural activities and the staff were always helpful and friendly. I’d come back without hesitation!

What I liked the most was the mix of nationalities and ages. It felt like a big family. Living in the residence and joining activities helped me speak Spanish every day.
