Academic Year Spanish Immersion - Football (Soccer) Boarding School:
EduKick Soccer Boarding School Program equips young student-players for life’s challenges in a way no other experience can.

Not only will they be prepared for a competitive international soccer environment, they will learn a deep appreciation for a new language and culture as well.

EduKick students are accommodated with local host families in the Bolton Area. All EduKick host families are carefully selected and experienced with long term international student care.

By participating in an EduKick Soccer Boarding School Program, a player distinguishes himself from his peers as a soccer player by committing to a year-long soccer development training course abroad.

Players learn that the world is much bigger than their neighborhood and they begin to consider their potential within this "bigger" world.

Academics:
Each morning (Monday-Friday), EduKick High School student-players will attend our affiliated private High School. The High School boarders follow the Spanish National Academic Curriculum and all instruction at our affiliated private school is delivered in Spanish.

Academics are a major focus of our programs, and comprise a large part of our student’s daily lives. Classes are structured similarly, by subject and hour, with regular evaluations.

Class attendance is mandatory, and parents receive an attendance record and progress report at Christmas break and at the end of the program. In all High School boarding school programs offered by EduKick, the students cannot leave the school building during the day.

Language Element of the Program:
Attending an academic program taught totally in the foreign language presents a great challenge for students. We encourage our students to study as hard as they train to achieve the best overall results. 

They will greatly progress with their language and social acquisition through the duration of this unique nine-month program abroad. 

While EduKick does provide bilingual monitors, teachers and coaches, they still encourage the players to try to speak in the local language as much as possible. This maximizes the benefits of the language immersion element of the EduKick "year-long" program.

EduKick Madrid Spanish Language School:
The older (16 years and above) "University Level" players have the option to study Spanish Language & Culture only with accredited Native Spanish teachers in a private University classroom. Spanish Language instruction is held at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in Canto Blanco.

Our "University Level" players will study Spanish Language & Culture following the world acclaimed communicative approach of International House Madrid. Group size will be 12-15 students per teacher.

Classes cover all aspects of learning the Spanish language (oral and written communication, grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation). Our intensive course is ideal for our year long students who want to experience total immersion in the Spanish language. 

Our intensive full immersion language program consists of 24/7 exposure to the key aspects of communication: to understand and speak the target language.

Spanish Language Certificates from The Instituto Cervantes:
The most widely recognised official Spanish qualification is the "Diploma de Español como Lengua extranjera” (DELE) – the Diploma of Spanish as a foreign language. They are held three times a year, in May, August and November. All three levels of the exam include a reading and listening comprehension, as well as grammar and vocabulary components and an oral test.

Students receive full “immersion” in Spanish and learn how to live and socialize successfully in this foreign culture. Players meet regularly with our bilingual tutors and our educational director to assist them with homework, prepare for exams, and act as a mentor for the EduKick Spain boarders while they are with us abroad.

The Soccer Program:
A “ciclos” approach to the technical, tactical, physical and mental elements of training enables EduKick to produce skilled, motivated, athletic players who thrive in the competitive arena.

EduKick has created a specific and well planned training regime that will ensure optimum football development to our players throughout the year abroad with our program. Also, we carefully monitor and control the stress recovery cycle that leads to over training, major injuries and burnout.

The main focus of our Spanish Immersion Soccer Boarding School will be on the player’s individual development. Students benefit from our progressive full-time training. EduKick's goal is to build well-rounded players utilizing a technical, tactical, physical and mental training model approach.


Individual Month Long Training:  
This "Month-Long" Spanish Soccer Training program is designed for players who are looking to train under Spanish professional coaches for an extended period of time in order to develop their soccer skills considerably and distinguish themselves as "footballers".

Players will be training, and playing with the top youth players of the same age.

This program will provide top quality coaching, intensive full time training, quality accommodations and cultural experiences in order to maximize a players experience abroad.
