La Academia de España is an academic program for students in grades 10-12 held in The Residencia Universitària Josep Manyanet, a university residence in an upscale residential area of Barcelona, Spain. There are around fifteen courses available, including courses in English, such as Barcelona and Modern Culture, Global Medicine, and International Politics, and in Spanish, such as Spanish Language, España en el cine, and La Guerra y las artes.
The international faculty includes scholars and academics, as well as creative professionals – artists, photographers, and writers – from Barcelona and elsewhere. Together with program administrators, including Program Deans and Activities Directors, students enjoy a daily schedule that combines intellectual and curricular adventure, cultural enrichment, field trips, guest speakers, activities and sports – all in a safe, supervised environment.
