I believe in study abroad and SPI summer programs. SPI is a fantastic organization and their attention to detail makes traveling with your students easy. With such good organization, you get to spend more time enjoying the places you visit, while teaching your students and spending less time worrying about travel logistics.

What a thrill it is to take part in the transformative experience of living in France with the students! Quelle chance! SPI summer programs are truly exceptional; it’s the only company of its kind that provides personalized programs to meet the diverse linguistic and cultural needs of students.

SPI is well-organized, responsive to our needs, and thorough in their planning of our custom programs. It’s obvious by the hotels, guides and sightseeing chosen for us, as well as the selection of the language school. The SPI staff is very knowledgeable about the area and the needs of our students.

SPI Co-Founder & Master AP Teacher
High school study abroad truly changes lives. In my 30+ years as an educator, I have seen my students and my colleagues grow from immersion programs in immeasurable ways. Encouraging study abroad, and not the tours, is the best advice you can give your students as an educator.

You, as a teacher, will grow so much from this experience. SPI created a well-organized and thought-out itinerary that just made sense to what the students needed. We actually had enough time to appreciate the culture and really be immersed, rather than running from city to city.

New Tech HS at Coppell (Spanish)
SPI programs provide the most enriching cultural experience I’ve ever found for high school students. Their programs are top rate. The SPI team provided support from start to finish. I watched my students grow not only in their language skills but also from teens into mature young adults.

Everything form the accommodations to the excursions are excellent and in well-chosen locations. SPI is a top-notch organization that truly allows students to live the culture, language and traditions of the host country through unique experiences and itineraries. This is a MUST HAVE experience for all students.
Amy Gretsch

SPI provided personalized attention every step of the way for both myself and my students. Every aspect of the program was well thought out and tailored to the needs of students this age. SPI is simply THE BEST! I would recommend this program to all educators.
George Murphy
Park City HS (Spanish)
I knew SPI was a serious organization from the start. After traveling on tours for many years, SPI provided a more meaningful way to travel – my students actually remembered what they saw and learned! The homestay experience helped my students gain an insider’s perspective on what living the language is all about.
