SA Santiago
SPANISH LANGUAGE SCHOOL
SANTIAGO-CHILE STUDY SPANISH
IMMERSION PROGRAM OVERVIEW |
|
 Our
partner Spanish language school (SA
Santiago) is conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood
of Providencia, an elegant shopping district between downtown
Santiago and the peaceful residential neighborhood of Las Condes.
The Spanish language school is just a few blocks from Santiago’s
efficient metro system, which provides easy access for students
going downtown or to any other part of the city. This school was
founded in 1990's, and already, the school has gained a world
wide reputation for the quality of Spanish language immersion
programs that it provides.
Please
note that additional info (prices, activities, etc) are found
to the right of this pages. 
Since its inception, the Spanish
language school has focused on providing students with the best
Spanish immersion experience possible. From small group to private
instruction, this school has it all. Due to the smaller size of
the school, personalized attention is given to every student which
really helps to make the entire experience productive and very
enjoyable.
 We
find the teachers and staff to be extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable,
which shows in everything the Spanish langauge school does. This
attitude contributes in large part to the fact that over 50% of
all students go to this school based upon the references of past
students.
Besides offering great programs,
this school has some of the better facilities found anywhere in
South America. As with many of our other schools, the Spanish
language school not only provides general Spanish language study,
but can also provide specialized programs for businesspeople,
medical personnel, lawyers, etc. Check with us for more details
about these specialized programs.
The Spanish language school also
offers a number of different excursions for our Spanish students,
two to three afternoons a week. The excursions usually last about
one to three hours and are guided by one of the Spanish teachers.
These outings give students a chance to practice their Spanish
and to learn more about Santiago and Chile.
Interested in skiing in South America? The Spanish language school offers a Spanish & Ski program. This program allows
you to take classes in the mornings and ski 2 days per week. See
below for more information. |

¡Hola! Santiago y la escuela son perfectos. Estoy apprendiendo mucho. La Senora Carmen es muy agradable. Los profesors son muy buenos y me ayudan mucho.
~Catherine
Chile is great. Cool weather and nice people. My accomodations are great and very close to the school. My teacher is extremely nice and I have been learning a lot already. It´s relaxed enough, but also efficient. Thanks for your help.
~Gareth
Chile is a great country and the Chileans were very patient in letting me try to speak their language. Not one person was rude or unwilling to let me try to express myself. I learned the most by wandering around and forcing myself to interact with the people.
I could have stayed at the school for months because I really felt they cared about my learning and my accommodations. I think the School Director is a very good man and that he has hired the best teachers and administrators. He even had students at his house. He must love this job.
I can't wait to go back and I would recommend this school to anyone who wanted to learn Spanish.
~Lori
Things are going great! It´s amazing how much I have already learned in just 4 days! I´m really excited to get deeper into the language! My head hurts at the end of the day from taking in so much information! My accommodations are also going good... I have had a couple of misunderstandings with my family because they don´t speak English and my Spanish is kind of rough but they were very excited to hear that I spoke a bit of Spanish!
