Description

Chile is a country of contrast and great beauty. Chile is characterized by its extreme beauty from its volcanic peaks in the Andes mountains to its ancient forests of the lake districts. There are several parks to explore in the long and expansive river valley which has vineyards to the north and farm lands to the south. It is the longest and narrowest country in the continent.

Our partner school is located in downtown Viña del Mar next to the Quinta Vergara, an old residence that has been converted into a museum and garden and is now home to Viña's famous International Music Festival. Our teachers are qualified professionals who have been educated in the area of Spanish language teaching to foreign students. In addition, we have comfortable classrooms, one of which is complete with an audio-visual system. We also have a computer lab with free Internet access and email account.
