 Simon
Bolivar was founded approximately 10 years ago, and today is considered
one of the best schools in South America. Recognized by the Ministry
of Education, Simon Bolivar offers excellent Spanish language
programs for beginner to advanced level Spanish students. Located
centrally and in one of the nicer parts of Quito, students have
easy access to hundreds of bars, restaurants, shops, banks, cybercafes,
and transportation. The school itself is located in a very nice
colonial style building which provides a comfortable setting in
which to learn Spanish.
Simon Bolivar provides quality
one-to-one immersions programs for students of any age and level
of Spanish proficiency. The classrooms are clean and quiet, and
students typically enjoy the comfortable courtyards outside as
a place to both study and/or meet with each other during coffee
breaks.
 In
addition to the Spanish language programs offered in Quito, Simon
Bolivar also offers classes in two extraordinary places in Ecuador:
Alandaluz on the tropical coast of Ecuador, and the Yarina Lodge
in the Coco Region of the Ecuadorian Amazon Basin. These programs
each run one week and are in group class format. Each of the two
areas are located in or near spectacular national preserves offering
students the chance to experience nature at its finest. In addition
to classes in these two distinctive areas students spend part
of the day exploring the area and discovering the treasures within
with the help of an experienced local guide. Contact us for more
information about these options.
Besides offering excellent
Spanish language programs, Simon Bolivar also offers (and or assists
in arranging) a variety of interesting cultural activities and
weekend excursions allowing student the chance to really get to
know Quito and the rest of Ecuador. Some of the more popular activities
include Salsa dance lessons, visits to the colonial center of
Quito, or trips into the Andes.
As with many of our other
schools, Simon Bolivar not only provides general Spanish language
study, but can also provide specialized programs for business
people, medical personnel, teachers, lawyers, etc. |
