What makes our English programs unique
English through sport, art, cooking, and games - with structured language learning built into every activity.
From the UK, Ireland, US, Australia, and South Africa - our teaching team brings native-level fluency and international experience.
Your child learns on the campus of an IB World School - alongside families from across Europe and beyond.
Families have trusted ASB with their children's English education since the 1980s.
Summer, Winter, Cambridge Exams, Adults - pick your path, switch, or combine as your child grows.
From Cambridge certification to full school enrollment - ASB Experience can be the start of something bigger.
Two to eight weeks of full immersion in English - not in a classroom, but through sport, art, cooking, outdoor activities, games, and real conversations. Your child learns English by living it, on the ASB campus in Berango, with native-level teachers and children from around the world.
Keep the momentum going during the school year. Saturday sessions or Tuesday & Thursday classes maintain your child's English level with the same immersive approach and the same teachers they know from summer.
For teenagers and young adults who want to prepare for a Cambridge English certificate over the course of a full academic year. Weekly classes with ASB's international teachers, a structured preparation path, and an official exam at the end.
Levels: B2 First (FCE) · C1 Advanced (CAE) · C2 Proficiency (CPE)
Two preparation formats are available: a full academic year course (October to May) for thorough preparation, or an intensive three-month course (October to December) for students ready to sit the exam in the winter session.
Most students follow a two-year preparation path: Pre-FCE then FCE, or Pre-CAE then CAE. Students with an existing certificate can advance directly to the next level.
ASB Experience isn't just for children. We offer English courses for adults at our Berango campus on Saturday mornings. Contact us for details on current availability and schedules.
More informationNo. Children of all levels are welcome in Summer Experience and Winter programs - a brief orientation assessment is done on the first day to help teachers understand each student's level, but it's not a barrier to entry. For the year-round Cambridge Exams course, a formal level test is required before enrollment to confirm readiness for B2 or C1 preparation.
Our teaching team consists of native-level English speakers with international teaching experience, from the UK, Ireland, the US, Australia, and South Africa. They are recruited specifically for our ASB Experience programs and are fully dedicated to the English immersion experience.
Summer and Winter programs are held on the ASB campus in Berango. The year-round Cambridge course is held at the ASB Exam Center in Indautxu, central Bilbao.
