The best Spanish immersion experience brings high school students together!

 

Let us unleash your child's Spanish potential! This is Latin America's only high school authentic language program, hosted by Central America's oldest colonial high school. Visiting students thrive in our Spanish environment that includes plenty of interaction and positive fun activities that are fully integrated into local high school sports, music, dance and fiestas. The word "immersion" can be intimidating for first time exchange students, but that's where we are different- our immersion is never “scary” because we believe language thrives, not in an intense isolated environment, but rather in an open spirited exchange that fosters friendships and celebrates the common interests of youth. We recognize that every student in our program has their own special way of blending into the community, so we make a special effort to support each student according to their unique needs and interests. Once a student feels comfortable in their surroundings their Spanish begins to blossom as well as their cultural confidence. click here to read parent letters
