Our Spanish school is based on a new concept of language learning called Integrated Spanish Language Learning. Our programs integrate Spanish immersion language classes with a unique Mexico cultural experience with family homestay (Merida, Yucatan, Mexico). By replacing memorization of Spanish language grammar rules with a total cultural experience, we enable our students to leave our programs with a knowledge of Spanish that is practical, culturally applicable, and long-lasting. Our programs explore the language as it is used in today's Spanish speaking communities around Latin America and throughout the world. Spanish immersion programs philosophy
Our Spanish language school faculty are experienced in teaching all levels of students--from beginners to the most advanced. Our language immersion courses integrate all aspects of Spanish language learning--speaking, listening, reading, and writing. We feel that this is the best method of teaching the Spanish language as it is used in today's world. Furthermore, we use a variety of language teaching methods to ensure that all learning styles enrolled in our Spanish language school are met.
