The School Year Abroad is the most demanded program by thousands of students from all over the world who are preparing to live an unforgettable experience in the USA, Canada or Ireland.
It is a 10-month stay in which the participant carries out part of the Secondary Education studies (ESO or Baccalaureate) in a foreign High School, both public and private. The studies are equivalent to the Spanish educational system.
You can also stay for a semester or a quarter, although we recommend the whole year.
The experience of studying abroad allows the student to develop important skills such as the ability to integrate and learn a new language, strengthen self-confidence, flexibility and open-mindedness towards other cultures and customs and overcome limits by promoting their communication and acting skills in a totally different setting than their usual one.
It is a useful and valuable experience that strengthens and raises their self-esteem, resulting in an extraordinary opportunity for personal development for the participants.

EDUCATIONAL TOURS
EDUCATIONAL TOURS
emotional and education tours
At LAP we believe that a study trip should bring a benefit that goes beyond the pleasure of traveling and discovering new places or interacting with new cultures. We know that a trip of these characteristics can mean a before and after in the lives of those who participate on it. For this reason, we have thought of and developed programs full of emotions so that students not only have a pleasant memory of what they experienced. We also want to contribute with our know-how in terms of their personal growth.
TESTIMONIALS
They tell us about their own experiences with their children.
“LAP has made us improve communication in our family “
LAP Camps not only help us to combine our children’s holidays with our working life; they also fill our children with new experiences and they come back with their ‘batteries’ charged and full of with positive energy.
When you enjoy the opportunity to get out of routine and you get separate from mom and dad for a few weeks, the experience becomes unforgettable both emotionally and learning.
LAP itself is fun. At the Camp they learn to share ideas, experiences and knowledge with classmates and monitors, in an environment that is very different from homework and school exams. Therefore, it is an excellent alternative for learning, coexistence and respect, and helps to enhance their social skills.
In our particular case, both Juan and Cecilia learned to come out of their ‘shell’, and to make new friends. They were “force” to adapt to a new environment to work as a team, and gain autonomy, by facing situations that, perhaps, they faced for the first time.
The great change we have noticed above all upon their return is in their experiences and in the learning of values, such as solidarity, self-esteem, independence or healthy competitiveness. Since in our family and in the education of our children, we try to teach them and open these paths for them.
But above all, what has motivated us the most to make our children repeat this experience is that it has made us improve communication in our family. The children have always returned home loaded with new stimulus, which they have shared as a family. This enhances and strengthens our family relationships, and helps our children to order memories and argue their experiences, enriching their communication skills.
And of course, LAP also helps us, the parents. Since the change and evolution of our children is also contagious to us. The wonderful Life Project that Maribel and Alberto transmit to all of us, helps us to put it into practice in our day to day life, maintaining the LAPPERS network throughout the year, as for example, with the celebration of the Spring Party.

“The process of maturity that every student should have, is accelerated”
The Stays that students spend abroad are, in my opinion, very positive for their development, both personally and academically.
Spending time away from the family environment gives students the opportunity to face new situations in which they have to solve problems that, even though they are within their reach, they generally do not solve. I am referring to tasks of daily life such as putting your clothes in order or planning your life with a work and leisure agenda, as well as attending their new commitments. The experience provides them with a new space where their lives are more autonomous and therefore with more responsibility.
In other words, the maturity process that every student should have is accelerated. You will have to put your social skills into practice to make new friends, be able to resolve conflicts and accept the frustrations or discomfort associated with any process of adaptation to what has been unknown until now.
Finally, pointing out that learning and improving their linguistic competence in English is very important. But it is possibly just as important to acquire new resources that allow them to strengthen their personality to become a man or a woman who is in control of their life, that is responsible, someone in which you can trust for his or her honesty and for his or her respect for others.
Our educational group formed by Ábaco School, Alameda de Osuna School and Arcángel Rafael School has had the satisfaction of collaborating closely with LAP: Beyond Languages, so that our students can improve their level of English by participating in their Language Learning Programs that, in addition, are complemented with our educational project. The training of our students with LAP has been very positive and enriching in every way.

“They help us appreciate the moment and what we have in life”
LAP helps you in both senses, emotionally and personally. They care that you feel emotionally comfortable with them and they accompany you with coaching sessions. You will feel very supported by the people in the programs, since meetings are held to get to know each other and get excited.
To go to study in the United States, for example, they propose you a couple of meetings to learn about what you have to do with your studies and also coaching sessions to go with your mind focused on life in the United States. Do not think that you are going to lose your loved ones in Spain because they teach you that they will always be by your side. You will feel supported around in the Spring Parties meeting new people and also participating in group dynamics.
Over time you will realize, like I did, that they really help you a lot so that you know what you want to do in the future and to be clear about it. In my case, they made me realize that my thing is languages. They help us appreciate the moment and what we have in life, to realize that there will always be people who will be by your side helping you step by step, people who will support you.
Something important that gives security and confidence is knowing that you will not only will doing coaching sessions while you are in Spain, but also you will have the possibility of having them by Skype while being abroad
You can always ask for help and they will give you a hand with your emotional doubts. I remember that a few years ago, while at the Summer Camp, I had a private coaching session taking a walk around the lake at night, it was an unforgettable experience. I thank them because they have helped me to know what I really want and to remove my doubts by accompanying me personally and emotionally. Thank you for opening my eyes to new possibilities and new adventures that have left me with beautiful memories.

TESTIMONIOS
Nos cuentan sus propias
experiencias con sus hijos.
“LAP nos ha hecho mejorar la comunicación en nuestra familia”
Los campamentos LAP no sólo nos ayudan a compaginar las vacaciones de los hijos con nuestra vida laboral; también llenan a nuestros hijos de nuevas experiencias y vuelven con las ‘pilas’ cargadas y con energía positiva.
Cuando se disfruta de la oportunidad de salir de las rutinas y separarse de papá y mamá por unas semanas, la experiencia se convierte en algo inolvidable tanto a nivel emocional como de aprendizaje.
LAP es en sí mismo divertido. En el campamento aprenden a compartir ideas, vivencias y conocimientos con los compañeros y monitores, en un entorno muy diferente de los deberes y exámenes del colegio. Por lo que es una alternativa excelente de aprendizaje, convivencia y respeto, y ayuda a potenciar sus habilidades sociales.
En nuestro caso, tanto Juan como Cecilia aprendieron a salir de su ‘cascarón’, y a hacer nuevas amistades, “obligándoles” a adaptarse a un nuevo entorno para trabajar en equipo, y ganar autonomía, afrontando situaciones a las que, quizás, se enfrentan por primera vez.
El gran cambio a su regreso lo hemos notado sobre todo en sus vivencias y en el aprendizaje en valores, como la solidaridad, la autoestima, la independencia o la competitividad sana. Ya que en nuestra familia y en la educación a nuestros hijos tratamos de enseñárselo y abrirles estos caminos.
Pero sobre todo, lo que más nos ha motivado a que nuestros hijos repitan esta experiencia, es que nos ha hecho mejorar la comunicación en nuestra familia. Los niños siempre han vuelto a casa cargados de estímulos nuevos, que han compartido en familia. Esto potencia y fortalece nuestras relaciones familiares, y ayuda a los niños a ordenar los recuerdos y argumentar sus vivencias, enriqueciendo sus habilidades comunicativas.
Y por supuesto, LAP también nos ayuda a los padres. Ya que el cambio y la evolución de los hijos se nos contagia también a nosotros, y el Proyecto de Vida tan maravilloso que nos transmiten Maribel y Alberto nos ayuda a ponerlo en práctica en nuestro día a día, manteniendo la red LAPPERS durante todo el año, como por ejemplo con la celebración de la Spring Party.
