TWO ENVY-INDUCING LOCATIONS
Whether you're drawn to modern city life or captivated by rich traditions, these two Spanish cities are the perfect backdrop for a summer of learning, growth, adventure and lifelong memories.
Madrid
Ever wondered what it’d be like to study in a skyscraper? IE Tower blends sustainable architecture with state-of-the-art facilities in the heart of Madrid’s financial district. We’re talking about one of Spain’s tallest buildings, with over 30 floors, 50,000 square meters, 64 classrooms, sports facilities and lush green areas. This tech-driven environment filled with dynamic spaces for innovation and entrepreneurship is designed to nurture future visionaries and foster lasting connections.
Segovia
Ready to spend your summer in a 13th-century convent? No, you won’t be joining the Sisters of Quiet Mercy or attending a secret wizarding school. Our Segovia campus blends centuries-old architecture with cutting-edge facilities like high-tech study rooms, media studios and our inspiring Creativity Center. Here, history meets innovation, creating the perfect environment for you to learn and make lifelong memories.
MADRID IN SUMMER
MADRID IN SUMMER
Madrid during the summer is where it’s at. Picture this: you’re people-watching downtown after enjoying a picnic with your friends in Retiro Park. When you’re not hanging out at the sunny IE Tower uptown, you're exploring hidden gems like a “ghost” metro station or drawing outfit inspiration from Malasaña’s street style. Need a break from all the action? Dive into one of the many rooftop pools or sip iced coffee at a café with a view. And the food? You’ve got everything from tapas to churros at your fingertips. Museums, musicals, flamenco shows—it’s a crash course in Spanish culture, with a fun twist.
SEGOVIA IN SUMMER
SEGOVIA IN SUMMER
Want to experience the authentic Spanish lifestyle? Segovia is your spot. It’s a city that gives you the best of both worlds: modern comforts with historic vibes. Imagine being surrounded by history and beautiful landscapes 24/7. You can explore the Roman aqueduct and even the actual castle that inspired Disney! This city where there’s always a view is so walkable; you can enjoy a nature hike in the morning and grab a sushi lunch downtown just 20 minutes later. Sign on for a summer in Segovia and find out firsthand what makes Spain so special.
