Valencia with your class

Valencia is a city that does everything with confidence, its futurist architecture stands minutes from a medieval silk exchange, its beaches border one of Spain’s most important natural reserves, and its neighbourhoods burst with some of Europe’s most extraordinary outdoor murals. Students visit the City of Arts and Sciences, kayak through gorges north of the city, glide across the Albufera lagoon by traditional boat, and eat paella where it was invented.

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.
