Course Options in Havana

Through our program we’re able to cater to all language levels right when you arrive at the school. You’ll be provided full course materials as well as a variety of options to enhance your program and overall experience such as a study room, internet access, bistro and snack bar. All teachers at the school are native speakers who are qualified to teach Spanish at any level of proficiency.

The course will help enhance your speaking, listening, grammar and general comprehension skills. Our teachers often use classroom discussions and activities such as role-playing and games as well as integrating current political, social and cultural events to add interest and increase knowledge of the host country and culture. 

 

Important: Students are expected to bring with them pens, note books, pencils, any basic materials as they are very difficult and expensive to find in Cuba and the school will not provide them.
