Stay in England: a unique experience for Institució students

Who hasn't dreamed of discovering the world? Experiencing new cultures, landscapes, and languages opens our minds and gives us a completely different perspective on life. However, when it comes to children and young people, an international experience is not just a sightseeing trip or a simple summer course: it is a maturity accelerator.

1. Discovering new cultures

Learning about other ways of living, eating, and thinking is essential for developing empathy and critical thinking. Stepping out of their comfort zone teaches students to respect diversity, adapt to changing environments, and appreciate both what they have at home and what they can contribute to the world.

2. Learning to manage on your own in a foreign country

When a student navigates a different environment, they learn to prioritize, stay organized, and solve small daily challenges independently. This experience boosts their self-confidence and shows them what they are capable of without the direct supervision of their parents.

3. Learning another language

Beyond grammar classes, daily life requires real communication. Overcoming the fear of speaking and navigating a second language in real-life situations builds a level of fluency that can rarely be achieved in the classroom alone.

4. Building new friendships

Making friends from other countries or living with local host families broadens a student's personal horizons. These bonds create an international network that will accompany them throughout their academic and professional future.

Institució's commitment to international education

At Institució, we have spent years developing a comprehensive international program designed to support students in their academic and personal growth. Throughout the year, we offer various options tailored to each educational stage, allowing every student to find the experience that best fits their stage of life.

Among the options, there are stays in boarding schools in England, where students experience full immersion in the British educational system; family immersion programmes in Ireland, which allow them to integrate into the daily life of a local family; as well as cultural programmes, focused on language learning through activities and cultural experiences. In addition, we also offer international exchange programmes, where students live and interact with students from other countries.
