The academy has functional and aesthetically appealing classrooms equipped with comfortable chairs, whiteboards, wooden floors, air conditioning (hot/cold), etc. The building in which the school is located in historic and has been completely restored in 2004, resulting in a surprising mix of modern elements in a century-old setting. Rotating art exhibits give an interesting insight into the contemporary art scene in Buenos Aires.

"I have been coming to this school for 11 years - EXCELLENT SPANISH SCHOOL - dedicated staff and teachers"

Nabeel Atique

There is a big selection of schools to choose from in Buenos Aires, but once you find a good school, you stick to it.
Academia Buenos Aires has become more like a family to me - a comfortable place to go back to and see familiar faces. This is on top of getting a fantastic education. Every time I am back, I also see new faces and sometimes have new teachers, but the quality is always the same!

Having worked through all there workbooks all the way through almost Nivel C, I have to say that the exercises, lesson plans and materials are well though out. I also notice that not every teacher teaches the same way or even the same topics (especially at the higher levels). This may sound disjointed, but it is actually a good way for students to bridge the gap with a bit of self study and research.

All in all, I give this place my highest recommendation!
