Spanish courses

The Course

The Spanish classes we offer in Quito take place in our school on an individual basis, as well as in small groups of 2 to 4 students.

The daily schedule is flexible, ranging from 4, 5, or 6 hours a day depending on the needs of students. Classes include lessons in grammar, reading, vocabulary, writing, and conversation, all complimented by audio, video, and internet aides.  Students wishing to spend 6 hours a day in class will be assigned two different professors, one for the first 4 hours in the morning and one for two hours in the afternoon.  In addition, we offer classes of 1, 2, or 3 hours in the afternoons, evenings, or on the weekends.

Our courses include current subject matter such as the economy, social sciences, and current national and international politics.  We offer intensive classes for students coming to Quito to work as  volunteers, geared especially to meet their language needs and schedule.  We also offer classes for travelers, and for those preparing for their DELE exams.

For every 20 hours or more spent in class, students will receive a free hour of conversation practice, scheduled for Friday afternoon (a perfect chance to practice casual conversation before going out to a discoteca or bar !!).

Schedule Classes are 55 minutes long, starting at 8:30 in the morning and ending at 12:30 or 1:30 in the afternoon.  There is a 20 minute break at 11:00am.  For a 6-hour daily schedule, class ends at 3:00 in the afternoon, and there is an additional 30 minute break at 12:30pm. Afternoon classes have a flexible schedule and are offered at a special 5% discount rate.

Lodging Students can arrange to stay with Ecuadorian families who will provide them with their own private bedroom, as well as laundry service and breakfast, lunch and dinner as desired (home stays are flexible and meals and other services can be negotiated to meet student’s needs).  In addition, we can help students find a place to stay in local hostels, hotels, and apartments recommended by our school.
