Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires, is an energetic hub of activity, yet it retains an old-world charm. Magnificent skyscrapers sit next to lush green parkland and excited shoppers join passionate tango dancers in elegant plazas.
Our Option One Buenos Aires school is located in the barrio of Recoleta, an affluent and attractive neighbourhood; as well as the famous Recoleta cemetery, where Evita is buried. The area is also home to scenic squares, vibrant nightlife and stylish shops. In addition to 18 spacious classrooms, the school also has balconies, a terrace, cafe area and free Internet access for students.
If you like, you can supplement your regular Spanish course in Buenos Aires with special Interest classes. Our school runs courses to teach you specialist business, legal or medical terms in Spanish, and even a course to show you how to Tango!
Private Lessons allow you to completely customise your Spanish classes, tailoring them to suit your interests and schedule. Even our school's regular group classes have a maximum class size of just seven students, affording you plenty of attention from expert teachers.

The teaching approach is modern and communicative, which means students at our schools learn Spanish by using it in class, rather than just 'studying it' passively. Above all, we want our courses to give our students not just a theoretical knowledge of Spanish but also a practical ability to use the language, to understand the language and be able to express themselves clearly in it. Our enthusiastic and highly-motivated teaching team at each school will do their best to ensure that you have an extremely effective, yet at the same time very enjoyable, language learning experience. Studying Spanish in Spain and Latin America, in this way, is by far the most effective way to learn Spanish.
