"Instructor- good, facility- missing, coordinated activities- missing."

Kathy Wennemann, student from USA

The instructor was good- but there was nothing else. The classroom was the back room of a coffee shop. When it was occupied, we sat on the patio. When the patio was busy we walked down the street to find another location- a ridiculous waste of my class time. Also, there were no coordinated activities.

"They did a great performance and I really enjoyed it."

Stefan Schlegel

First of all I have to say that that I never will regret my stay in Bocas. The people I stayed with were very friendly and I felt comfortable. Regards the school, I can say that everything just was fine. The teachers were friendly, they cared a lot and there was never more than five students in one class. Even in the afternoon, where I had a single class for communication. Just great. I learned so much. I finished the whole A2 course in two weeks.
The weather, beaches, palm trees and the nature was just terrific and I loved to spend my lunchtime beside the Caribbean sea.
I would do it again and again.

Our host families are middle class by local standards. A typical house will have a living room/dining room, a kitchen and bathroom and 3 or 4 bedrooms. There is often a yard outside which people use as an extension of the house. Air condition is not necessary because Boquete's temperature is naturally fresh. The houses are generally humble, but very comfortable, clean and safe.

Most families are located within walking distance to our Spanish Schools (5 - 15 minute walk) and only a few of our host families homes are located in the outer parts of the town of Boquete and Bocas del Toro and require public transportation (never more than 10 minutes). The families that are a little bit further away have more up-scale homes and host couples or entire families. Several of those families can give you a ride at certain times of the day.

Our host families are middle class by local standards. A typical house will have a living room/dining room, a kitchen and bathroom and 3 or 4 bedrooms. There is often a yard outside which people use as an extension of the house. Air condition is not necessary because Boquete's temperature is naturally fresh. As there are so many different types of host families we ask our students to fill out an Immersion Pre-Program Interview that will help us select the best family for them. We will do our best to choose the family that you are looking for. Most houses are rather humble, and luxury should not be expected, but they are comfortable, safe and clean!

Most families are located within walking distance to our Spanish Schools (5 - 15 minute walk) and only a few of our host families homes are located in the outer parts of the town of Boquete and Bocas del Toro and require public transportation (never more than 10 minutes). The families that are a little bit further away have more up-scale homes and host couples or entire families. Several of those families can give you a ride at certain times of the day.

Each Spanish language immersion student will be given a private room and study area. Each bedroom is clean, well ventilated and illuminated. Upon request we can arrange a shared room suitable for couples with a private bathroom. Houses that can offer these facilities are usually outside of town within a 10 minute ride by public transportation.

Panama

School location

The paradisaical islands of Bocas del Toro Archipelago, Panama's top beach destination, are located in the country's north western Caribbean sea. The archipelago separates Bahía Almirante (Almirante Bay) and Laguna de Chiriquí from the open Caribbean Sea. Situated near the Costa Rican border, the enchanting town of Bocas del Toro, home to 8,000 inhabitants is situated in the south eastern tip of Isla Colon, the Archipelago's main island.

We're located on Isla Colón, the main island, in Bocas town, on the road that leads you out of town and takes you to Isla Colon's most beautiful places such as Bluff Beach, Boca del Drago and Starfish Beach. !

Our exact physical location is on the southern corner of G Avenue and 9th Street, just a block before the hospital or a 7 minute walk from Bocas del Toro's Central Park. We are in a quieter place of town ideal for Spanish learning, but still within a 5 minute walk to bars and restaurants such as the Casbah and Mondo Taitu and literally only a couple minutes walk to several Bocas del Toro hotels. And if you want to quickly hit the beach, our School in only a 7 minute walk to Playa El Istmito.
