“It is only possible to grow when thinking big. It is only possible to move forward when looking for WHY SPAIN? ahead.” Studying in Spain has become in recent years a Alice Munro safe bet in education for two main reasons: More than 500 million people in the world speak Spanish. Spanish is the 2nd-ranking language in terms of number of speakers and the second most spoken language in international communication. The international prestige education in Spain has acquired. Education in Spain is compulsory for people under 16 and the education authorities have given citizen of other countries the opportunity to join the education community, making it more rewarding for everyone involved. theiex.com +34 91 161 08 05 9

Spanish education system The high quality of the Spanish education system is internationally recognized. In general terms, three different kinds of schools exist: “escuelas públicas” (state schools), “escuelas privadas” (private schools) and “escuelas concertadas” (semi-private schools). The program hereby presented by theIEX is carried out in private or semi-private schools with host family accommodation or, in some cases, residential accommodation. The Spanish school system is structured in four levels: “Infantil” (3-5 years), “Primaria” (6-11 years), “ESO – Enseñaza Secundaria Obligatoria” (12-15 years) and “Bachillerato” (16-18 years). Our host families Host families are as diverse as the landscape or the traditions in Spain. Spanish society is modern, open to diversity and tolerant with different cultures, but generally speaking, the most usually found is the traditional Spanish family, where one or both members of the couple work outside of the house. It is not strange to find a stay-at-home mom, though. All our host families are carefully selected with help from the schools and are police-checked. 10 theiex.com . +34 91 161 08 05

WHY CANADA? Because Canada is one of the most developed countries in the world, with a high standard of living and soaring safety and welfare indicators. It also has one of the best educational systems in the world. Canadian society is the result of a multicultural education process and a concept of education that encourages open and welcoming individuals. It is one of the most popular destinations for study. . theiex.com +34 91 161 08 05 27

Canadian education system The system is built on strong pillars of social prestige of their teachers, their facilities and their results. 95% of the population studies in the public sector, although there is a small minority too being educated in private schools. This system has been evaluated and recognized by the PISA report prepared by the OECD. According to this report, Canadian students excel in areas of learning such as reading and maths, and even more importantly, in skills to develop a successful career and personal life. The Canadian educational system offers students who wish to study in Canada international program that has been running for almost 30 years. The methodology, the annual distribution of subjects and the active involvement of students in designing their own learning are, among others, distinctive elements of this system that significantly enriches the students who are integrated in it.
