  • Catch a glimpse of our Study Abroad Class of 2026's unforgettable time in Cádiz, Spain! 🇪🇸

During their three-week stay, students explored beautiful towns like Sevilla, Tarifa, and Vejer while immersing themselves in Spanish culture. Along the way, they visited iconic landmarks like the Sevilla Cathedral, explored ancient Roman ruins, stood where the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean meet, and even caught some waves while surfing! 

What an incredible experience for our Beacons!
