The Spanish language and culture classes put a special emphasis on the Spanish culture, thus helping students to understand cultural nuances of the language. This allows the student to be integrated into the Spanish lifestyle from the first day, and that in turn helps them to learn the Spanish language more easily.

All of the teachers have been specially trained in teaching the Spanish language to adolescents, and most also have several years of experience. Teachers are also involved in the planning  and chaperoning of activities and excursions. This helps to ensure that students have the opportunity to continue practicing their Spanish outside of the classroom.

Students will receive 20 lessons of Spanish each week. Classes are held in the mornings, Monday through Friday. Each group class has a maximum of 12 students, and generally has an average of 9 students. This allows each student in the class to receive the personal attention that they need, but also allows for interactive learning and role playing with other students in the class.

Six levels of instruction offered:

• Beginner
• Elementary
