Bordered by the enormous territories of Argentina and Brazil, by large rivers and by the Atlantic Ocean, Uruguay is located in a privileged setting in South America.
People are astonished by the pure white sand of its beaches, the dunes alternating with creeks and its small bays with peaceful waters. Spanish is the only language spoken over the whole of its 176.215 km2, demonstrating the uniformity of its population, its cultural and ethnic unity, characteristics that have helped to develop a tolerant and democratic country. Of its 3:156.708 inhabitants over 95% are literate.
OUR SCHOOL is situated in a very good part of Montevideo, called: "Parque Rodo". This is a residential area where you can find the National Library, bars, restaurants, shops and the university of Architecture and a beautiful big park. It is well known as a quiet area to live and for it's safety.
The school itself is a very nice old house. On the ground floor there is the reception, the office, four large classrooms, a library, two toilets, a fully equipped kitchen, recreation room with television, a terrace and a yard where students can spend their breaks or meet after classes. This will be the place for meetings, like a welcome drink on the first day, barbecues or paella's on Friday evenings. On the first floor you can find the school residence.
The school is at approximately 5 minutes walking distance from the beach main Center of Montevideo. Close by there is a sport center with a gym where you can play: volley ball, basket ball, tennis and football. A perfect opportunity for our students to get in contact with the locals and at the same time practice a sport.
Faculty Information:
* TEACHERS: Graduated in Spanish philology and specialized in teaching foreigners. They have many years of experience in teaching Spanish to speakers of other languages and are very enthusiastic and friendly with our students. They are always ready to listen to any doubt or problem students may have with the Spanish language. Weekly meetings are hold with the teachers to discuss the progress of our students and to take on board their suggestions and comments.
Every day, after classes one of our teachers is in the school during one hour to discuss difficulties with the students and to help them with any problem they may have in their Spanish study. Each student has his own tutor to help them in case they have difficulties with the study program.
At the end of the course, students realize that they have not only learned Spanish but made new friends as well!

The school offers a wide range of complementary activities aimed at leisure and free time. An excellent way to learn more about the Spanish culture, of relaxing, discovering the surrounding area and to increase and practice the Spanish knowledge while enjoying the company of one of our teachers or a Spanish local guide.
We have noticed how the leisure occupations of our students are oriented more and more towards sports and activities which are to do with ecology or nature, interested in preserving and not attiring the surroundings which are so hard to maintain.
