Learn Spanish at Any School...or All of Them
A Spanish immersion program carefully designed for your success:
- Multiple School Choices All options share the same schedule and curriculum so you can easily "school hop" for a multi-culture (and multi-accent) experience.
- Activites & Excursions (Optional) Join us for beyond the classroom events so you get cultural and social exposure.
- Micro-Group Conversation Half of your class-time is spent in ultra-small groups of 4 students, so you get extra speaking practice and are not "just good on paper."
- Free Snacks, Coffee & Tea Help yourself at the refreshments table between class as you mingle with other students and staff members.
Spanish Course
Top teachers guide you with caring (but demanding) instruction.
Mini-group classes are split between grammar and conversation, so you won't just be "good on paper."
Cultural Activities
Classes are supplemented with cultural activities, such as learning to cook empanadas (above).
Weekend excursions include trips to nearby nature or historic sites.
(Optional) Homestay
Live with a local host to get additional Spanish practice (and true cultural immersion).
You may also share an apartment with other students.
