The Colegio's principal building houses the student residences, dining hall, a conference room, a canteen, an infirmary and various common areas. Classrooms are located in a separate building, adjacent to the sports centre. The wide range of facilities includes an indoor/ outdoor multipurpose centre, a pool, extensive gardens, a soccer field, 2 volleyball courts, a basketball court and a handball court.

The Course:

Spanish course is organized into 20 lessons per week, with 4 lessons everyday, Monday through Friday. Each class is 45 minutes in length, and there is a maximum of 12 students per class to ensure that every student receives individualized attention.

The carefully designed curriculum emphasizes conversation and communication, so that students may take full advantage of their surroundings and apply what they’re learning by speaking with friends during the remainder of the day. The morning class hours are the only time when Spanish and international students are separated; they rejoin at the end of the language classes.

The teacehrs are all highly qualified with university degrees, specialized in teaching Spanish. They are also experienced in the field of childhood education, with a wide knowledge of techniques, activities and motivating tools to make sure their assigned age group is engaged, learns to the maximum and has fun at the same time.
