Highlights

Interns will participate in an orientation session after their arrival in Mexico. Orientation includes a welcome, a tour of the language study facilities, a Spanish placement test, information about housing, Cuernavaca, and your classes, as well as a tour of the city in the afternoon.

Participants will stay with local Mexican host families. Host families are very welcoming and enjoy having foreign visitors stay with them. All host family accommodation includes 3 meals per day. Living in a host family setting is the best way to practice your Spanish outside of the classroom, and participants frequently make friendships that can last a lifetime.

The Intern in Mexico program includes 2 exciting all-day excursions!

* Teotihuacan Pyramids
Participants can partake in an informative guided trip to nearby ancient sites, featuring the pyramids dedicated to the sun and the moon.

* Museum Trip
Another excursion includes a day trip to Mexico City to visit a museum featuring the works of famous Mexican artists, including Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo.

In addition to the scheduled excursions, interns who want to get out and experience real Mexican culture have a wide variety of things to do and see. Cuernavaca is home to many interesting and historic sites, such as castles and cathedrals, some of which date back to the 1500s.
