Description

Mexico is a place where colours, savours, and musical sounds mix a beautiful way. Those who are interested in studying the Spanish language should not over look the wonderful opportunities in Latin America. On our academic programs in Mexico, students will integrate with a Mexican host family eager to share their way of life, become a part of the local community and school, have amazing memories and experiences, and make life-long international friends.

By participating in this program, students will experience the unique opportunity to integrate with the life of a Mexican family and attend a Mexican Preparatory (high school). Students will not remain indifferent to the 3,000 years of history which have made this great country. They will feel the influence of the Indians, Spanish, and contemporaries have had in the creation of this 'perfect cocktail.' Mexico is a very warm, highly friendly environment for foreigners.

Living with a host family is the best way to learn first-hand about a foreign culture. A new language will come alive in you as you make new friends, share their culture, and discover new things about yourself and our world.

School System
Public schools serve 87% of all students in the country. The Mexican School system is divided as follows : the pre-escolar, the primaria, the secundaria and the preparatoria school. Most of the international students will attend classes in a preparatoria school. In the preparatoria schools, students must choose one of 4 professional areas : physical-mathematics, chemical-biological, economic-administrative, or humanities.
