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.

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.
