Enjoy a Spanish language course in Puerto Rico at our language school in the city of San Juan.

Come and study in the oldest city in the U.S.!

The capital San Juan, (population about one million) is carefully preserved and has restored examples of 16th and 17th century Spanish colonial architecture. Colonial buildings and churches grace virtually every corner of the old walled city.

Discover Puerto Rico’s culture and history in the many splendid museums or visit San Juan’s cathedral, final resting place of Juan Ponce de León’s remains. Beautifully adorned plazas, fortifications and historical sites, add to the beauty of the city.

The average year-round temperature fluctuates between 75º and 90º. It can get cool in the mountains and during the evenings, but in the city the temperature is usually constant. Being a tropical island, Puerto Rico has sunny days and breezy nights, a wonderful combination.

September, October and November tend to be more rainy than other times of the year, but Caribbean weather can be unpredictable.

During the first day of orientation, students will be orally evaluated for program placement in one of the 6 learning levels. The school uses the Language Proficiency Guidelines set forth by the American Council on the Teachers of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) as a foundation for level designation.

All instructors are native speakers with a Bachelor's or Master's degree and second language teaching experience. They are a group of dedicated and experienced educators who will lead student towards a higher proficiency in the target language. Using a variety of creative teaching techniques and resources, instructors adapt classroom activities to cater to all learning styles, facilitating a stimulating and motivating environment.

The school uses a variety of textbooks for each level. We keep sufficient books in stock for students to use in class, but they may sign-out a textbook at no cost with a major credit card or cash deposit. Textbooks not returned or returned in poor condition will be charged on the credit card. Handout packets for each unit (each week) are also given to students as supplementary material to take home. There is no extra fee for these handouts.

After classes are over for the day, our program allows you plenty of time to discover your new country, culture, traditions, customs and everyday life.

There is an "Activities Board" in the reception area that lists the weekly activities. Information on island excursions with local tour groups is also available.
