    Accommodation

    Instituto Educativo Español offers various options to its students to ensure their full satisfaction during their stay in Spain. If you are interested in studying with us, we offer a number of accommodation plans.

    Student residences and Colleges

    Firstly, the Instituto Educativo Español has various agreements with student residences. This is first-rate accommodation located both outside the central district and in the city centre - the latter near to Instituto Educativo Español headquarters - a choice of locations to suit student preferences.

    We also provide other options in cooperation with colleges to offer boarding accommodation. This has come as a response to the needs of former and future students.

    Spanish Families

    We can also arrange for students to stay with a Spanish family, allowing them to deepen their immersion and integration experience and have direct contact with the way of life in Spanish homes. Families will also be in charge of the students’ room and board, providing companionship and guidance in their studies, services also provided by the staff.

    This type of accommodation includes constant follow-up services to ensure student well-being no matter which accommodation they choose, both directly, and also exploiting the many opportunities offered by new technology. At the Instituto Educativo Español we take special care to provide this assistance, as we want to offer students the best service possible.

    Student orientation

    This is an additional service for foreign students who, in the first stages of their incorporation into Spanish life in Madrid may require the help of a translator, someone to help them handle paperwork, and/or any other assistance.

    This service is also quite important for under-age students and is often requested by their families in order to ensure that their children receive appropriate guidance and assistance at all times. This is provided by a professional who will look after their well-being and ensure their safety while in Spain, especially in the early stages of their stay.

    INTERNATIONAL APPLICATION

    Study Abroad, Exchange, Summer and Winter Programmes with international academic institutions.

    STUDENT MENTORS AND COORDINATORS

    For under-age students who request this service themselves or through their families.

    STUDENT OFFICE

    This help centre provides integrated assistance to students. This office manages and takes care of any issues that may arise during a student’s process of immersion in the Spanish language and culture.

    Medical and full cover insurance

    Students from the European Union have a European Health Insurance Card to guarantee medical assistance during their stay in Spain.

    For students who do not belong to the EU, Instituto Educativo Español emphasises the importance of taking out medical insurance in their country of origin that will cover illness, hospitalisation or accidents that may arise during their stay in Spain.

    At any rate, and as an alternative, the Instituto Educativo Español offers its students the option of taking out medical insurance with a reputable Spanish insurance company.

    Transfers and travel to Madrid

    Once in the capital of Spain, the means of transport are very varied: Metro (one of the best in Europe), Taxi, Bus, VTC Services...

    There are numerous ways of getting to Madrid (train, private vehicle, air, etc.).

    Instituto Educativo Español is known for its integrated assistance to students; one of its services includes accompanying the student from the moment they arrive in Spain.

    The Instituto Educativo Español offers international students the option of a pick-up service from Madrid airport. This will facilitate student integration into their new life in the Spanish capital and ensure satisfaction with the start of their educational experience with us.
