Why Partner With SAIIE
40+ Years in Seville
Since 1984, SAIIE has welcomed 10,000+ students to Seville. Our decades of experience and deep connection to the city allow us to provide students with expert guidance, personal support, and an authentic experience in Spain.
Our Home Is Seville
Unlike large study abroad organizations with programs around the world, SAIIE focuses exclusively on Seville, Spain. Seville is our home, and that local expertise allows us to provide a more personal, authentic, and deeply connected study abroad experience.
Direct Communication
Students, parents, and university partners have direct access to our on-site program directors for personalized support with academics, housing, safety, and student life.
Quality Over Size
We limit our programs to 40 students so we can provide personalized attention, strong support, and a high-quality study abroad experience for every student.
Cultural & Language Immersion
Spanish culture and language are at the heart of every SAIIE program, giving students an authentic and immersive experience in Seville.
A Family-Owned Program
Founded in 1984, SAIIE remains family-run and deeply connected to Seville. Our program directors are personally involved with our students, providing the personal support and care that makes SAIIE different.
