Description: Programs Offered

* Language School
The Intensive Spanish Program is world recognized for its success in enhancing student Spanish language skills no matter what level of previous Spanish. It exposes the student to both the language and culture through the integration of life experiences in the linguistic process.

Our program provides students with a comprehensive yet manageable coverage of the Spanish language and culture while integrating language into student lives. Be it business jargon, an educational need, a cultural or social matter, our program makes Spanish a part of you. We can move you from any point to fluency. From daily situations to specialized fields, our goal is to maximize your usage of Spanish in a multi-cultural environment.

* High School
The High School Program is designed to make the study of the Spanish Language fun and meaningful. We have developed an excellent program for teens that encourages them to Learn, Live and Love the Spanish language and Mexican culture.

Our program welcomes teens from 13 to 17 years old. However, younger or older students can join the program occasionally upon prior request. The High School Program provides personal advisement in order to maintain effective communication with the students, the host families and the parents. Advisers are always available on request.
