Ecela Viña del Mar
Our school is located in a safe neighborhood in the heart of Viña del Mar and just a few blocks away from the beach. A typical day will not only include your scheduled Spanish courses, but also plenty of free time to spend with new friends. Grab a bite to eat, go on a shopping spree, or have a relaxing afternoon on the beach – however you spend your time away from the books, it’s hard to beat the warm rays of sunshine and the exciting nightlife of Viña del Mar.
- Prime Location. The school’s neighborhood is only a few blocks from the beach, one of South America’s most famous oceanside resort areas and many other popular spots.
- Convenient. Since the school is just a two-hour commute from Santiago, Ecela Viña del Mar can be used as a stand-alone school or easily combined with our location in Chile’s capital.
- Flexible Options. Start any week of the year and study from one week to four months with no additional charge if you decide to switch to another Ecela school.
- Scheduled Activities. You can learn to surf, tour the neighboring area in Valparaiso, visit local national parks and so much more when you study Spanish in Viña del Mar.

Thank you for making me feel that I was more than just a language student.
I spent one month in ECELA Viña del Mar and could not have been more pleased with my progress in Spanish, and happy with my experience in general. Both the excellent staff and instructors were professional, kind, and helpful.
The feeling they were able to convey was that they not only wanted to help with the advancement of the language, but that students felt comfortable and confident navigating a new city, language and culture.
Thank you again for this experience. Thank you for making me feel that I was more than just a language student.
I’m really glad I chose to study in Vina becuase its close to the beach and the small classes are perfect for making close friends.
I truly enjoyed my experience at ECELA in Vina Del Mar. In only three weeks, my spanish improved more than I ever expected. The professors are very kind, accommodating, professional, and fun and the classes are informative and interactive.
They even offer extracyrriculars like empanada cooking classes and salsa dancing instruction. I’m really glad I chose to study in Vina becuase its close to the beach and the small classes are perfect for making close friends.
I have to thank Ecela for the unique experience I had
My experience as a volunteer with Ecela Viña was amazing. I love all animals, so there was nothing better for me than volunteering during my stay at Ecela Viña Del Mar. Helping the dogs at PAEC, rebuilding their kennel, feeding them, playing with them, grooming them, and most of all giving them love and care was more than just a job, it was an experience that helped me grow in many ways.
I have to thank Ecela for the unique experience I had, and also I’d like to thank Ernesto who helped me and taught me so much during this month of volunteering. Thank you so much for everything.
