Description:
Our Spanish language school is situated at the base of the San Cristobal Hill, the biggest park in Santiago. It is located in the heart of the colourful bohemian district of Bellavista, in the centre of Santiago. Since 1985 a profusion of restaurants, pubs, nightclubs, and small theatres have sprung up here. The neighbourhood is a magnet for students, artists and craftsmen.
The school was founded in 1992. We offer Spanish language courses at the school, family home stays and accommodation in boarding houses, hotels or apartments, assuring individual service in a friendly atmosphere. In 2006 our school in Chile received the "Excellence Award" for high customer satisfaction from one of the bigger international Agencies.
Highlights:
With our fieldtrip program and our excursions, we want to give our Spanish students a deeper insight to the Chilean society. We offer a number of activities, at least one per week. Additionally, we have a welcome reception with empanadas and wine every Monday after the classes, and every Thursday night we invite everybody to join the open meeting at a pub in Bellavista where people from the school and from outside the school meet for a talk , having a drink and having fun.
