A little story
About Us
Educational Adventures is an independent educational consultancy based in Barcelona, supporting students and families as they navigate some of the most important academic decisions of their lives. At Educational Adventures, we’re not just helping students apply — we’re helping them take their next steps, in whichever direction that may be, with clarity and confidence.
Our Mission
We work closely with students and their families to provide clear, personalised guidance on applying to English-speaking universities in the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands and Spain. We take time to understand each student – their interests, strengths, goals, and doubts – and tailor our support to help them make informed, confident choices about their future.
Whether a student needs help identifying the right course and destination, preparing a compelling written application, or feeling ready for interviews and admissions tests, we’re by their side throughout.
Alongside our university preparation packages, we also offer a range of experiences that broaden horizons and build readiness for study abroad:
-
UK summer camps focused on language, leadership, and independence
-
Short and long-term study abroad programs in British schools
-
University visit trips that bring options to life
-
Gap year planning with purpose and structure
With over 25 years’ experience in international education between us, we bring not only expert knowledge but a deep commitment to each student we work with. We limit the number of clients we take on to ensure that every family receives the time, focus, and continuity they deserve.
Meet the Team
Educational Adventures was started by Joe and Matt, who between them have over two decades of experience in the British education system. They have taught in British schools in Spain, the Middle East, Kazakhstan and the UK and have first hand experience of running and organising English speaking language school experiences in the UK. Our aim is to simply use this experience to provide an exceptional educational service, organising first class English language experiences for students across Spain.

Our Guiding Principles
Our mission is based around three core principles…
Explore
Educational Adventures aims to promote exploration in young people. We guide students and families through the full range of international education options — from universities to study abroad and gap year programs — helping them discover the best path forward.
Inspire
We want young people to be inspired to be the change they want to see in the world. We create meaningful experiences — like campus visits and summer programs — that motivate students to think bigger and feel excited about their future and embrace new experiences.
Educate
We don’t just help students apply — we help them understand the process, grow through it, and feel proud of their journey. With tailored guidance at every stage, we turn uncertainty into direction and support families and students alike as they shape their own futures.
Explore
Educational Adventures aims to promote exploration in young people. Our passion is providing young people with the opportunity to explore new surroundings through one of our summer camps or study abroad programs, where they can learn from themselves and the environment around them.
Inspire
Through education, we want young people to be inspired to be the change they want to see in the world. By stepping outside their comfort zone and embracing different experiences and learning new skills, we hope our students will be inspired to take on new challenges in their lives.
Educate
English is widely spoken around the world and is the primary language used in international business, tourism, and media. Studying English is important for teenagers and adults alike as it is a key language for communication and understanding in today’s globalised world.
