The staff of Central American Spanish School (CASS) consists of select "maestros" (master professors) who are graduates of Honduran universities. Our Spanish programs are popular with business and medical professionals, engineers and research scientists, seeking accelerated and special vocabulary classes. Some students want a better understanding of Spanish to enable them to explore Honduras and other Latin American countries with greater independence. Free written and oral evaluations are given to each student before he or she begins classes. These evaluations given periodically determine the student's individualized skill level and requirements. The student is matched with his personal master instructor, and a lesson plan is engineered to meet the student's goals. Under the director's guidance each professor is personally responsible for the rapid progress of the instructor's assigned student. A family atmosphere is maintained among the students and all staff members. A new student feels an immediate camaraderie with the staff and other students. The staff is available 7 days per week to help the student. Maintaining this family atmosphere and individualized "one on one" instruction reduces the "culture shock" significantly and assures that the student is comfortable in the culture and can proceed immediately with the rapid absorption of the Spanish language.
La CeibaHonduras, mostly rural and with 3 distinct cultures and languages, shares borders with El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, the Pacific Ocean, and 800 km of Caribbean Coast including some of the most pristine beaches in the world. Students can travel economically and safely on the paved highway system and the prolific bus system. Central American Spanish School has two campuses in Honduras - La Ceiba, Roatan and Utila. Students can study in one, both, or all three of the campuses. La Ceiba (pop. 80,000) is the third largest city in Honduras, located on the Caribbean coast, and is the country's most vibrant with nightly entertainment.
