Our programmes combine two intensive courses during the morning and afternoon, one being a 15 hours/week equitation or sailing course, the other being a 15 hours per week Spanish language course, held in municipal classrooms, as we collaborate with the City Councils, and with teachers approved by the Spanish Ministry of Education.

Our method, that develops the teaching of courses in a recreational and leisure environment, is also innovative and effective, combining traditional teaching resources with a holistic psychology.

Spanish and Equitation Course combining the intensive study of the Spanish language with horse riding practice; Spanish and Sailing combining the intensive study of the Spanish language with the intensive practice of the light sailing.

Our qualified equitation instructors have been teaching horse riding for many years, from the beginner to high levels in the disciplines of dressage and jumping. At the beginner’s level we give much importance to the equilibrium on the horse and to the horse's language, the understanding of equine behaviour and feelings, so as to better understand the natural aids of classical dressage and to establish an effective mount. At all levels we give enormous importance to horseback activities like country horse riding and horseball.

The sailing school, certified and approved by the Valencian Sailing Federation will teach Dingy Sailing to the teenagers and providing the corresponding official certificate depending on the skill level reached, known as the Vela Pass.

Certified instructors will adapt their teaching techniques for safe practice of the sport, standardised into three working levels: from beginners, who learn the basic sailing techniques and safety at sea; to advanced, who must be able to complete a competition course, thus being able to participate in regattas regularly organised by the Federation.

Our students stay with carefully selected Spanish families. Our responsibility is that the adolescent has everything s/he needs: from a balanced diet, to proper rest and the working environment necessary for successful learning and enjoying sports activities. Staying with families has the advantage of having the students immerse themselves into a Spanish family, sharing their activities, and much of their leisure.
