Study in a Spanish high school: how does it look like?
The school year generally starts in mid‐September and finish mid to 3rd week of June. This also applies to an exchange student in Spain. The school year is divided into 3 terms (no semester organization). Students study hard to attend examinations at the end of each term. Final exams take place in June. An official transcript may be awarded at the end of the study experience for students who completes an academic year in Spain. This allows you to earn credits from your high school study abroad experience.
Spanish students usually study in school from 8am to 2 or 3pm, from Monday to Friday. Afternoons are dedicated to extracurricular activities, sports and homework. Your student exchange in Spain is not just about studying! :-)
Study Abroad in Spain: 10th grade (4º of ESO) is the last mandatory year and student graduate at that time with a Secondary Education Certificate. Grade 11 and 12 (1º and 2º of Bachillerato) are dedicated to the preparation of the Bachillerato. Students may study up to 10‐12 subjects per week. For your 11th and 12th grade you have to choose a specific “stream”, among Humanities, Science and Technology, Social Science and sometimes Arts; there are also 4‐5 core common subjects for all students. As an exchange student in Spain you attend the same classes like any other Spanish student.
