Oxbridge Academic Programs - La Academia de España
Our extracurricular program maintains a healthy balance between study and leisure time that allows students to relax and unwind. To that end, the Activities Directors organize a full daily program of elective social events and sports. These typically include dances, quiz nights, talent shows, movie nights, cinema trips, and poetry readings, as well as other options.
Students may choose to participate in structured activities or take advantage of the hundreds of other opportunities the city provides. On site or just nearby, students have access to a gym, tennis courts, and basketball courts. Our sports program includes soccer, basketball, yoga, fitness classes, and jogging, as well as outings to swimming pools and local beaches. Our Activities Directors plan these events regularly, ensuring that students can truly make the most of every available opportunity.
In addition to the sports facilities, there are a range of spaces where students can gather to hang out with new friends or do homework. Our residences have a TV room for watching movies, a laundry room with full facilities, and an area for quiet study. Students on both programs have access to a gymnasium for sports and recreational purposes. We create a Spanish Table at the dining hall where students, regardless of level, can come together with faculty to speak Spanish and to exchange views on daily life. We invite all interested students to request a room on a Spanish-speaking hall if they wish to converse in Spanish on a daily basis.
These activities and cultural events enable students to make friends and discover shared interests. The certainty that they are in a secure and comfortable environment, as well as part of a supportive peer group, encourages our students to open themselves to the new experiences our program provides.
