Barcelona with your class

Morning Spanish classes at an Instituto Cervantes-affiliated school are complemented by afternoons in the city: the Sagrada Família, Park Güell, the Gothic Quarter and Barceloneta beach all become language laboratories in their own right.

The programme is designed for secondary pupils who already have some Spanish — it accelerates oral fluency and gives the language real-world context that a classroom never can.

Language Trips - your questions

A school language trip is organised for your whole group — the entire class or year group travels together, shares accommodation and follows a programme built around your school's curriculum. An individual language stay is a personal booking for one student. On the move specialises in group programmes and handles all logistics, supervision and paperwork for schools.

All levels from complete beginners (A1) to advanced (C1). Pupils are sorted by level on arrival so every lesson is appropriately challenging. Each pupil receives a CEFR-referenced progress certificate at the end of the stay.

Our English schools in London and Dublin hold English UK or IALC accreditation. Malta partner schools are FELTOM-accredited. Barcelona schools are Instituto Cervantes-affiliated. Paris schools are certified by the French Ministry of Education. All schools are regularly inspected and all teachers are qualified.

Yes — and we encourage it. The most effective language trips blend morning classes with afternoon cultural experiences where pupils use the language naturally. We design the programme around your educational objectives and group.
