Our Faculty Led Program is a program that has been created to benefit the teachers as well as the students that participate on the program. Hosted in the heart of Seville, Spain, SAIIE provides the perfect settings for the Faculty Led Program to give you the ultimate study abroad experience possible.
SAIIE has over 30 years of experience in guiding American college students through their study abroad programs in Seville, and we are now proud to also offer Faculty-Led programs to help high schools and universities make the most of their educational visits to the city.
Our Faculty-Led programs offers both high schools and universities the chance to do a service-learning projects during their time abroad with us in Seville, with the aim of immediately immersing them into Hispanic culture and the Sevillian lingo.
What is so great about this program is that we adapt and accommodate the program to suit you and your respective high school or university. So, we like to involve you in the ins and outs of what you would like to take from this program, and how you would like it to be set up. Each faculty-led is unique in its own respect, made just for you.
With this program, the professor's role is more than just a teacher. It is a chance to be the student's mentor. They have a lot more responsibility, handling a group of students 24/7, and when you’re abroad in a foreign country you want to make sure you are guided by professionals in the field.
SAIIE staff are there to make this experience even more personalised, giving you the most educated, heartfelt guide of Seville, their home city. They are bilingual, helping develop the student’s Spanish skills further, but there to speak English if they should need some guidance.
Everything is organised for you before arriving to Seville, so there is no extra stress with housing, cultural activities, day and weekend trips, classroom space and equipment, service learning projects or administrative support.
A real passion for Seville and everything Spanish is exactly what SAIIE promotes, ready to give its students the most exciting, learning experience abroad in Spain! So, with our Faculty Led Program offering both a purposeful teaching value for its faculty as well as an educational and cultural one for its students, SAIIE really does offer you an invaluable experience abroad.
