We are a prestigious non-profit school, ranked in the top 3% of all schools in the country, according to the Mexican Ministry of Education (ENLACE-SEP).
Our language school seeks to promote cultural exchange and a better understanding of the Spanish-speaking world, not only among our students but also throughout the world.
Our language courses are part of the school's strategy to provide our students with the necessary skills to succeed in life.
The theoretical basis of our teaching includes constructivism, neurolinguistics and critical pedagogy. We continually update our methods according to the latest research in education and language teaching.
All of our teachers are native speakers and have been trained in applied linguistics and/or language teaching at the post-graduate level in leading universities. They have also been selected on the basis of their strong interpersonal skills, humility and growth mindset. They are all involved in research projects in applied linguistics or in the development of teaching materials with major publishers (e.g. UNAM, Oxford University Press).
We have developed our courses to be highly personalized, whether in a group or private setting. We always take into account our students' interests, goals and learning style, as well as their cognitive skills, which we seek to further develop.
This is extremely beneficial for our language students as we provide a meaningful learning experience. Throughout our programs, students are challenged and their learning process becomes more effective. Generally, students complete our program early and move to the next level in less time than is expected and required.
In turn, we are proud to say that we have had outstanding students who challenge us; many of our students who are thirty years or older have completed postgraduate studies and are very inquisitive in their learning. This creates an inspiring environment for learning and fun at the same time!
