School location

Segovia is one of Spain's finest historical cities. Located in the heart of the country at the foot of the spectacular Guadarrama mountain range and just 90 km north west of Madrid, Segovia is a UNESCO heritage site.

The city is famous for many fine historical monuments, ranging from the 2000-year-old Roman aqueduct to the astonishing Alcazar Castle, said to be the inspiration for Disney's original creation. Segovia is a small family town with a population of just 45, 000. The Spanish spoken here is the clearest and most standard in Spain. OISE believes Segovia to be the perfect location for a junior programme. It provides a safe, enchanting, and above all quintessentially Spanish environment for a full immersion into one of Europe's most fascinating cultures.

"Excellent, but sometimes the temperatures were too high :)"

Tomas Balko, student from Czech Republic

I really liked the morning classes with Alejandro, I learned many useful but also interesting things. However, afternoon classes class with Rafa were little bit boring. The overall school was good as well as the facilities, my favorite was a fan. The activities were very good, I enjoyed walks around Segovia and also the trip to Madrid. Maybe next time I would prefer to go to Madrid for more days not just. Lastly the housing, I liked my family because whenever I needed or wanted something, they made it possible .
