In past years, Germany participants have received in-school placements that match their teachable subject areas as much as possible. Typically, students are placed in pairs in bilingual schools, with opportunities to teach lessons in various settings. German schools have a holiday each Fall (e.g., early October in 2018) - activities during this holiday have varied from year to year.

We ask Germany students to find their own accommodations. Students often opt for AirBnBs. Rentals are typically for 1-2 people only.

Madrid, Spain

Placement Highlights

In past years, students have been placed in a variety of SEK schools (bilingual English schools) around Madrid. Students often have the opportunity to teach and actively engage students in group activities. There are a variety of cultural opportunities available in Madrid, as well as the opportunity to participate in classes run by the host institution.

Options vary. Students can choose to find an AirBnB in downtown Madrid, to be closer to the city and cultural opportunities, or to stay on campus, to be closer to their teaching placements. Reliable high-speed internet is an important look-for with either option.
