Welcome!

Whether you are a student, parent or teacher, we are delighted by your interest in learning more about SYA. We hope that your exploration of this site will give you a clear sense of what SYA has to offer, and help you to navigate the admissions process.

Since opening our first school in Spain in 1964, SYA has been offering students the opportunity to achieve mastery of a second language, gain familiarity with the beliefs and values of other cultures and learn the skills to meet the challenges of the global community. While the classroom is an important component of your SYA experience, immersion in the surrounding community is also essential. Every activity, from sharing a meal with your host family to scoring at a soccer match, to buying a train ticket is a valuable learning opportunity. At SYA, the world is truly your classroom.

SYA programs are designed to give you full academic credit at your home high school so you can stay on track for graduation without compromising your academic program.
