Spanish Teachers
All the Spanish teachers have university degrees
and many years of experience at teaching Spanish as a foreign
language. Each year the teachers receive regular training to ensure
that their teaching maximises student success. The Spanish teachers
make use of a wide range of modern teaching strategies, supported
by the use of multimedia, to put a very strong emphasis on the
practical use of Spanish.
Spanish Course Philosophy
Upon arrival, students take a placement test.
Recognizing that students know their particular educational needs,
the school evaluates the test and assists the student in creating
the most profitable customized program.
International Student Body
A particular pleasure for many of our students
is the opportunity to meet others from all over the world. The
Spanish language school receives many students from Europe and
North America.
School Facilities
The Spansih school building is located in the
central area of Quito with a magnificent view of the town and
the surrounding mountains. With its spacious and well lit classrooms
it offers an ideal environment in which to study and learn Spanish.
You can relax on our terrace or in our garden during breaks, and
if you please you can even take classes outdoors.
Each course, no matter whether it is a mini
group or a one-on-one lesson, is held in a separate classroom.
Email Access
Students can acess email for free at the Spanish
language school. It should be noted however that Quito has an
abundance of cheap internet cafes, many of which are very close
to the school.

Students are met at the airport by their host
family or someone from the school. You will then be transported
to your selected accommodation option. This transfer is included
in the cost of your program.
