EIDE: Escuelas Internacionales para la Educación y el Desarrollo

EIDE is a private institution whose goal is to develop all kind of Language Courses as well as Higher Vocational Qualifications in Hospitality Management and Tourism.

“Quality, Experience and Personal Attention”

Quality

Our quality and professionalism have been recognized by such institutions as the University of Cambridge and the Instituto Cervantes, as well as different National and European Organizations.

Experience

EIDE is, above all, synonymous for teaching and has trained more than 14000 students since its foundation, in 1976.

Personal Attention

Even though we are a medium size school, we always try to offer our students personal attention. Our staff and our teachers are accessible and warm, they try to help them in every possible way.

EIDE, Language School

Language teaching was its main activity when it opened its doors in 1976 and languages have became a pillar around which new teaching specialities have been added, like Hotel Management and Tourism. We offer English, Spanish, German, French and Japanse courses.

EIDE English School

Eide is a reference in the area for English teaching. We are an authorised centre for internal candidates for the Cambridge ESOL (Ket, Pet, First Certificate…)

Our teaching system

In order to maintain the personal attention and assure the quality of our teaching, classes are held in small groups.
Our teachers have a degree in languages; they are very qualified and experienced in teaching languages. Our learning system combines classes by Spanish and Native-English-Speaking-teachers.

Learning English: a programme adapted to the each age group

Children have a great capacity to absorb knowledge but there are some areas in the learning of languages that are easier for an adult, such as grammar, writing, reading, speaking and writing at advanced levels. That is why each age needs a different programme:

• Juniors 5 to 9 years old: 4 levels (A1)
• Beginners 10 to 12 years old: 4 levels (A1 to A2)
• Teenagers 13 to 17: 7 levels (A1 to C2)
• Adults 18+: 7 levels (A1 to C2)

EIDE, Spanish School

Our philosophy: "Experience, Quality and Personalized Advice".

This is the philosophy of our school applied in all areas, including the Spanish School. We are an educational institution and therefore the quality of the courses is our priority: Above all, we want our students to learn. Our Spanish courses are serious, the teachers have a degree in languages and they are all native speakers. Groups are small, so that we can adapt the content and rhythm of the course to the students’ needs.
The personalized service is another feature of our school. We are a medium school in terms of number of courses and students size, but we are still a small school if we talk about the relationship with our students. We are very warm and welcoming, especially with our students of Spanish language.
Our host families are also one of our prides. These are families are very open-minded and love meeting people from other countries and sharing experiences. The student will be considered one member of the family and treated so.

Our Spanish Courses

The goal of our courses is to teach people to communicate in Spanish in real world situations. With this goal in mind, our classes focus on the basic skills: speaking and spoken interaction, listening comprehension, reading and writing.
All our teachers are native speakers; they have a university degree in languages and are very experienced in teaching Spanish as a foreign language.
“…highly qualified teachers, who have studied abroad, who speak other languages and who are very open to other cultures. They can understand the point of view of their students; they always find a way to explain the inexplicable” Xana Farpón. Spanish Teacher at EIDE. BA in Languages by the University of Deusto and MA in Lingüistics by Ohio State University.
In order to maintain the quality of our teaching and the personal attention we pay to our students, the groups have a maximum of 6 students.

There is a good range of shops and many excellent cafes and restaurants, some with splendid views of the old and new harbours. Santurtzi has an excellent sport centre with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, for sports such as tennis, football, jogging, swimming….

The town´s location is also excellent, because of its proximity to the centre of Bilbao, the beaches an the mountains.
Bilbao is a cosmopolitan and modern city, which is a result of a transformation where the Guggenheim museum is one of the most important ingredients. At the same time it is rooted in the habits and traditions of the Basque people, a fact that can be noticed in the charming old town, which is still the heart of the city. Visitors will enjoy its gastronomy, considered highly prestigious both nationally and internationally, as well as night life in several bars for all colours and tastes

The Basque Country is a land of Wide plañís, mountains massifs with magnificent routes, green woods, great cliffs, rich marshes and relaxing beaches. Nature lovers have a lot to discover. Its uneven landscapes´ diversity and beauty is evident not only in the established natural parks, but in most part of the territory.

The Cantabrian Shore is said to be one of the most beautiful coasts in Europe. It encompasses multiple cliffs, unspoilt beaches and little fishing villages. What makes it even more attractive is the possibility of practising all kinds of sports. Biscay´s coastline offers waves and slat air to go sailing, surfing and swimming.
