Our goal is to provide students with an unforgettable experience!
The structure of the classes that ECELA schools offers is both flexible and tuned to fit the student and his/her personal language needs.
Our programs include group classes, private classes, and specialized courses that combine both private and group instruction.
All housing options are carefully selected and provide the students with a private or double room, kitchen access and comfortable surroundings. Living standards are high and all housing options are middle to upper - middle class Latin America scale.
We also believe that our students are not only here to learn Spanish but to be part of an exciting experience abroad. Keeping that in mind we always coordinate extra activities and weekend excursions!
Process:
Prior to arrival you will receive a list of possible volunteer areas. Student should select 3 options according to their interests. When the student arrives and begins studying we will arrange a visit to the selected organizations. It is up to the student to be approved by the organization of his/her choice; however we will help to the best of our abilities. We do not guarantee positions before arrival as students need to visit organizations beforehand.
