At Elebaires we offer Intensive Spanish immersion programs of varying lengths including both private and group lessons year-round. We additionally offer excursions, support services, social and cultural activities, skill workshops such as tango and photography, local homestays with Argentine students or families as well as internship and volunteer placements to complement courses and provide additional opportunities for linguistic and cultural immersion.

By emphasizing the importance of actually living in Argentina like a true Porteño, while experiencing and participating in Argentine culture rather than just observing it, Elebaires really sets itself apart from other Spanish organizations abroad.

All of our professors are university-educated, native speakers that have specialized Spanish instruction degrees. They highly enjoy teaching, and make a special effort to only teach Elebaires students Spanish, and also to get to know them on a personal and social level.

The integrated nature of Elebaires classes, homestays, workshops, excursions, and activities allows students to truly live like Portenos and take a hands-on approach to learning; students who choose Elebaires programs experience Buenos Aires on the most profound level possible.
