Madrid Somosaguas centre

A teaching offer which evolves along with the needs of our  students: that’s the proposal of our Madrid Somosaguas centre. We’ve released courses for 2-5 year old students; we’ve also got alternatives for adult students who want to prepare their Cambridge and IELTS exams either during the academic year or during a summer course.

These new initiatives complete our traditional offer of courses and allow children and teenagers to improve their English learning (General English Courses) or focus on those skills they want to develop (Skills Courses).

Courses for Young Learners

SUMMER PLUS SUMMER CAMP 

When summer comes around, children and teenagers have more free time to enjoy their hobbies, discover new interests and meet people who inspire them to keep seeking out new experiences. The Summer Plus programme is based on activities designed to activate our students’ English learning while they have fun. More information.

CAMBRIDGE EXAM PREPARATION COURSES

Our preparation courses will help your child to achieve an excellent result in Cambridge English exams such as Preliminary (PET), First (FCE), Advanced (CAE) or Proficiency (CPE). More information.

English Extra - Much more than English classes

The Madrid Somosaguas centre is renowned for offering ample opportunities for  learning through free activities for adults, such as the Conversation and Cinema Clubs and the termly workshops (CV writing, giving presentations, job interviews in English, etc.).

Younger learners can sign up for free storytelling sessions and improve their inter-personal communication skills while doing sports, yoga and arts & crafts activities during our summer courses. Students of all ages can access the materials available in our library and on our online student/parent portal.
