Lessons The Spanish course is the most important part of the junior programme. Classes are held daily and homework assigned. The teachers are demanding and only Spanish is spoken in the classroom. During the four hour daily classes, students study and practise all aspects of the Spanish language: grammar, composition, vocabulary and, most of all, conversation Junior students are often placed in general classes with participants of all ages. If a group of teenagers of the same level comes to Madrid to study together, they may benefit from a customized group program with closed classes as well.

Activities The Junior Course includes cultural, sports and many other activities all included. A different activity is planned for each day except Sunday, including: visits to museums, group events, a day at the swimming pool and excursions and field trips outside Madrid. Meeting young people from other countries is a rewarding part of the programme, broadening the students' view of the world. The activities permit and encourage these contacts. All activities are supervised by IH Madrid personnel.
