LITA is a full-immersion program that offers high school students a dynamic experience far removed from English-speaking tourism. Participants advance their language skills through small, intimate groups of 12-16 students and three group leaders; extensive homestay experiences in small towns; internships; and other off-the-beaten-path adventures. At the same time, they acquire a genuine understanding of Spanish culture as part of a safe, structured, and personalized immersive experience.

The name LITA alludes to the philosophical foundation of our program: a Spanish word ending with the diminutive “ita” that often denotes something small and personal and is something or someone toward which one feels great affection. This informs all elements of our programs.
