Our year long program in Madrid has been specifi cally designed for students who are highly committed to excellence. The goal of these programs is to provide our students with:
• Higher education in sports (soccer/athletics)
• Higher education in Spanish (becoming a successful life long learner)
• Higher education in life (building character for excellence)

The challenge for our students is for them to strive to be the best that they can be by:
• Conquering a higher level of ability as soccer players and athletes (Intra-personal confi dence)
• Immersing in and developing a new language ego - Spanish (expanding intra-social confidence and communication skills)
• Believing in their capability to be where they want to be through commitment and hard work (resilience and character formation.)

The Program
Soccer and life in the 21st century is more competitive than ever. Individuals from all over the world are stronger, and better educated than they were in the past. To continue to meet these competitive demands requires an integrated approach with attention to four areas of personal performance: cognitive, emotional, physical, and educational. These four areas serve as the foundation for personal achievement. Neglecting any of these denies the student/athlete the opportunity for maximum development. Our approach at EduKick Madrid is to provide our students with the tools to succeed at these four key areas of personal development. Parents and students should be aware that the academic aspect of our program (attending a Spanish High School Program totally in Spanish) constitutes a great challenge for the student because of the language barrier. Only those students that possess an advanced level in Spanish and who are committed to daily hard work and discipline will be able to pass their subjects. Those with a lower level of communicative Spanish should expect to see themselves greatly progressing in their language and social acquisition through the year. Passing grades for students WITH A LOW LEVEL OF SPANISH will be extremely diffi cult to achieve. Interested players with limited level of Spanish should begin an intensive Spanish study program in anticipation of participating in this program.
