SUMMER CAMPS 2015

THE

CAMPS FACILITIES & ACCOMMODATION In September 2013 we opened a stunning boarding facility on our San Roque Campus to provide the only International Baccalaureate boarding school in Spain for up to 150 students. Housed in a former 4 star hotel it offers a friendly and comfortable environment with the best pastoral care, first class facilities, excellent food, professional staff, and thorough security arrangements. This is more than just a boarding house; it is a lifestyle and an experience which will enrich and enhance your kids' education. If they have a particular passion they want to pursue, be it golf, kite surfing, journalism, drama or languages, then we help them do it with the facilities, time and space to be able to reach the highest level. We will also offer mentoring, support and time to allow them to excel academically.

WELFARE Welfare is one of our major concerns. We commit ourselves to looking aﬅer every single student to ensure that his/her stay is an unforgettable experience! Obviously, the younger they are, the more conscious we are of their special needs and we always make sure the students are not leﬅ alone and feel able to discuss any worries they may have on an individual basis. At Sotogrande International School, we guarantee you the highest standards of welfare, from teaching to catering!

EXCURSIONS

& VISITS Ronda

Ronda retains much of its historic charm, particularly its old town. It is famous worldwide for its dramatic escarpments and views, and for the deep El Tajo gorge that carries the rio Guadalevín through its centre. Visitors make a beeline for the 18th century Puente Nuevo 'new' bridge, which straddles the 100m chasm below, oﬀering unparalleled views out over the Serranía de Ronda mountains.

Tarifa

Ten kilometres of beautiful white sandy beaches, unspoilt countryside and some of the best kite surfing conditions in Europe. This little fishing town was the first point of the Moorish invasion of Southern Spain in 711 B.C. Today it is the european hot spot for kitesurf and windsurf.

EXCURSIONS

& VISITS Bolonia

Large sand dunes to the north and military land ensure it will always remain totally undeveloped. Visit the ruins of the Roman town.

Gibraltar

Cádiz

Rising up as an indomitable peak at the gateway between Spain and the African coast, Gibraltar is a unique destination with a life that goes beyond its surface. The monolithic Rock of Gibraltar entices tourists with its lush greenery and the friendly monkeys (Barbary Macaques) ubiquitous to the area. Beneath its looming exterior lay the Galleries, a veritable labyrinth of underground passageways running through the Rock. You can also enjoy Dolphin watching in the bay of Algeciras.

Occupying a tiny peninsula on the south coast of Spain, Cádiz is a beautiful old city that is well worth a visit. The old town is in the tip of the peninsula and is buzzing with beautiful plazas that are constantly full of life. It is said to be the oldest city in Europe. The diﬀerent nationalities who settled here leﬅ an important cultural imprint, whose inﬂuence still remains in the character of the city's people. This peninsula, right on the Andalusian Atlantic coast, has been able to preserve an important historical legacy.
