IMMERSION

Immersion and interaction with the community are key for language and intercultural learning. That is why our classes will take place both inside and outside of the classroom.

TIME TO (RE) ACT

We recognize the Ecological crisis as the most crucial our generation will face. Understanding and making changes in our lives and in our communities will define the world our children will live in.

PLAY AN ACTIVE ROLE

MENS SANA IN CORPORE SANO

As one of the weakest points in our society today we want to put special attention on the importance of a healthy mind and lifestyle for the undertaking of any other project.

SELF EXPLORATION

Through mindfulness, art, movement and psychology we will dive deep into our emotional world and learn about the search for meaning, patience and frustration tolerance.

The city is a live monument of our rich history and cultural heritage, full of incredible streets, plazas and secrets.

Granada enjoys a terrific location, only 45 min away from the Mediterranean Sea yet at the very foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

With over 300 hundred days of sun every year, our city is world famous for its vibe and possibilities.

We are located in a beautiful Carmen (the traditional house with garden), surrounded by an XI century wall of Muslim period, 30 seconds away from Mirador de San Nicolás, the most iconic view point of the city.
