We can also arrange and design specific programs with unique Spanish courses.
If you are studying for academic credit the school are able to fill out an evaluation with regards student´s abilities and his or her experience. We provides each student with a diploma signifying his or her completion of the Spanish clases at the end. You should have written approval from the sponsoring university and the necessary documents to transfer the credits for the university.
We offer trained and certified teachers as well as flexible learning programs. We facilitate a unique program that caters to students interested in cultural immersion via language courses, intensive studies in grammar, reading, writing, composition, conversation, and vocabulary with a combination of theory and practical exercises both in a typical classroom setting and out in the city involving various outdoor learning activities to enrich the student´s experience. Students can choose from individual or group classes. The school is open throughout the entire year.
The most important advice to any student is to work on your Spanish as soon as you arrive. All students will take a placement exam in order to evaluate their level, and if there are several students in the same level, the students will have a group class. Our schedules are flexible and we can start new courses throughout the year, for any length of time, or whenever students arrive.

These outings are offered to help you get to know the city, learn about its history, experience local cultural events, and practice Spanish in a supportive setting.
Ecuador and the city of Quito provide an unparalleled and limitless outdoor classroom in which to study and practice Spanish. This has inspired us to develop a program in which students have the option of spending a day out in Quito accompanied by their professor. We find that the students who participate in this program enjoy the opportunity to study Spanish outside the confines of the school, as well as appreciate the chance to get to know the city.
