SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY:

Our goal is to introduce students to our customs, traditions and lifestyle through the Spanish Language. The language skills and cultural knowledge that you acquire will make your stay in Sucre more enjoyable and enrich your travels in South America.

Our teachers are young, qualified professionals, well experienced in teaching Spanish. They also have other professions such as: English, Quechua and Frech teachers, lawyers, tour guides, engineers, economists, agronomists and others.

Teachers accompany students in additional activities at the school and on short trips around Sucre, allowing you to experience the daily life, natural beauty and reality of our country.

We think an excellent way for students to practice Spanish , inmerse themselves in Bolivian culture and exchange experiences is to live with a Bolivian family.

SCHOOL FACILITITES:

We have several large classrooms with natural light, that accommodate individual or group study. Many of our classrooms face the Parque Bolivar, one of Sucre’s historical and beautiful park.

The school has a big backyard where we offer activities such as : dance classes and meetings usually on Friday nights we have a barbecue (BBQ) and share chuflays ( a spiritual Bolivian drink) or pisco sours.

At the cafeteria you can share a coffee with your teacher and also enjoy our seasonal fruits.
