Students can receive credit from an American university for studying in this program. The Institute of Spanish Studies was established in 1950 in cooperation with the Universities of San Francisco and Valencia. In 1985 the Institute became an independent program; at present it is associated with Longwood University of Virginia. Classes in Valencia are held at the American Institute, with its own fully equipped premises. YEAR-ROUND, ONE WEEK TO FULL ACADEMIC YEAR:

Valencia
offers a wide variety of cultural activities such as lectures, concerts,
festivals and museums. Visits and activities, including several free
Saturday excursions, will be organized throughout the summer and school
year. Optional trips to places such as Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona,
and Andorra will be arranged at an additional cost.
In March, Valencia celebrates the festival of the Fallas and during the second half of July a famous fair is held in the city. There are several beaches along the Mediterranean shore that are 15-20 minutes from downtown Valencia.
The cost of accommodation is included in the program cost. Students will stay with host families in double occupancy rooms. All families have been carefully reviewed and approved by the ISS. All homes are located close to public transportation so that both the school and the center of town can be easily reached.
Depending upon availability, students studying in the second summer session may stay in a student dormitory.
Meals are included in the program cost; three daily meals will be provided by the host family.
Air
fare is not included in the above fees. Applicants will receive information
on airlines offering low fares that will help participants in making
their flight arrangements. Students can be met at the airport for a
