Course calendar 2026-2027
When can you start
The short answer for General Spanish is: whenever you want. You can start any day from Monday to Friday, and if you come from scratch we open beginners' group every Monday.
Courses with an exam or with an academic year do have closed dates, and they are the ones we leave you here below.

How the academic year of access to university is organized
For those who come to prepare for the university entrance exam, the course takes up a full academic year, from October to August:
October: start of the course.
October to January: intensive Spanish phase, for those who arrive below B1 (Itinerary II).
January to May: academic preparation phase of the subjects.
End of May: official exam.
June: pre-registration of students.
July: enrollment in the chosen higher education institution.
August: closing of the cycle (vacations or recovery from hours).
Those who arrive with B1 or more (Itinerary I) begin in October directly with the subjects, plus 1 hour of Spanish reinforcement per day.
Holidays and School Closings
The holidays on which the School is closed are published on our website and in the official School documents. And there is one important thing that is worth knowing: the classes corresponding to holidays can be recovered, so you do not lose hours of your bonus.
[PENDING: list of holidays and closing days for the 2026-2027 course. Ainoa has it. On the old website the calendar was a scanned image, so here we publish it for the first time as text: it can be searched, translated into 11 languages and updated without remaking a JPG.]
And if you miss classes, you make them up
We prepare each class to the menu, depending on who comes, so you have total flexibility: you can cancel the classes you need and recover them comfortably later.
Do you want us to reserve a specific date for you? Write to us and we'll leave you tied. And if you still don't know your level, take the test for free.
