Description:
Spanish for Success is now offering Spanish courses and Specialized Internship Programs. Our partnerships with sister schools in Chile, gives our student/clients more options to study and learn Spanish.
Chile hugs the coastline of the Pacific Ocean and surrounds the neighboring countries of Argentina, Peru, and Bolivia. The country offers plenty of other activities from the ocean to the mountains. It offers adventure sports from sports fishing, mountain biking, hiking, skiing, and many more activities year round. If wine tasting is something that you would like to experience, there are many vineyards to taste and smell the vino, especially, if you visit the Concho y Toro site.
When you come to Chile to study Spanish, spend time to explore and discover the peaks of the Andes and the ancient forest of the lake districts. Or perhaps spend a week touring the Southern parts of Chile and Patagonia.
Eco-tourism in Chile is something to write home about. In comparison to neighboring countries, the level of mass tourism is considerably less enabling visitors to have a more authentic experience. There are many places to see in the country and not get overwhelmed by a high influx of tourists.
We have two locations to offer when studying Spanish in Chile.
Students can start off in the capital of Santiago and/or continue on to the beach side of Vina Del Mar which be one of Chile's the top destinations. Santiago de Chile, the capital of Chile, is ideally located in the center of the country, half way between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific coast. Consequently, the school is able to offer full-day or weekend excursions to beautiful beaches and resorts along the coast as well as Spanish and skiing courses, with skiing in the Andes. Santiago de Chile is a modern city with excellent shopping and nightlife plus first-rate sports facilities and generally high standards of living compared with most Latin American capitals.
The school is located in the famous district of Bellavista district, a vibrant, artistic neighborhood at the foot of the "San Cristobal" Mountain. Here, one can easily find a diverse and interesting variety of entertainment and cultural activities including restaurants that serve typical Chilean food, bars, nightclubs, art galleries, theatres, and event centers. All of this is combined into a dynamic and easily accessible environment.
When you study at the Santiago campus, students will stay with a Chilean family. The homestay program helps students immerse into the culture. Homes are typically middle class in comparison with the local population and generally include comfortable home amenities. Students will be provided with breakfast and will have access to the kitchen, dinning room, living room, washer and dryer (if available in home).

Spanish for Success's Mission Statement: Our mission is providing study abroad programs that emphasizes and integrates both components via classroom exercises and the utilization of the Immersion Method. The Immersion Method is applied when a student is surrounded in the context of the culture via constantly speaking Spanish in places such as local shops, markets, gyms, bars, restaurants, school and with their host families. Students find themselves applying their newly acquired skills on an everyday basis with appropriate feedback from their professors as well as the people around them. This method allows the student to hone their abilities in a supportive and relaxed environment. Our Goals and Requirement are to visit school sites and evaluate the facilities to determine whether or not they meet our requirements for our clients. Educational quality is heavily influenced by the background and experience of the administration plus their educators. Furthermore, we investigate the lodging facilities, safety, cleanliness, tour variety and availability, experience, and professionalism. Given that we work with programs abroad. Many laws and requirements are different from the US and Europe. We try to find a happy medium so that each student's transition is as smooth, comfortable, and fun as possible. We at Spanish for Success always work closely with the schools to better improve the quality of their services.
