The school is located between the new and the old part of the city, so it is the perfect starting point to get around it.

Each of our six spacious and comfortable classrooms are designed to cater to our small groups.
Our staff is at the disposal of students at all times, to assist them with any queries, not only from a language wise, but on any topic.A coffee maker with aromatic Ecuadorian coffee and a kettle with local herbal tea is also available. The school has WI-FI in all its spaces, even in the small outdoor garden. We always share information about weekly activities and everything that goes on in the city. The activities that we carry out at the school and outside are really fun.
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
Cuenca is a city designed for walking, and there’s no better place to start a stroll than from the school to
Calle Larga, which its numerous museums, small restaurants and hotels, traditional bakeries and artisan workshops. The city center is another option, located only 500 meters from the school. If you’re interested in doing some shopping, practicing sports, going to the movies, or even attending a football match, a short walk is all you need to reach the new part of the city. This district maintains many traditional features, but amidst a growing cosmopolitan and varied offer.
THE CITY
With a history that goes back thousands of years, from the pre-Columbian to the colonial and the Republican eras, Cuenca is considered the most beautiful city of Ecuador by tourists. Its diversity manifests itself in its multiple UNESCO World Heritage Sites designations, the historic center, the Camino del Inca, or Qhapaq Ñan, and the recognition to the weavers of Panama hats. El Cajas, located nearby, houses one of the most important wetlands of the Andes. But more importantly, its warm and close people make foreigners immediately feel welcomed with kindness. Very close to the Pacific coast (Guayaquil is only a 3-hour drive away), and the border with Peru (only a 4-hour drive away), Cuenca is also the starting point for enjoying all that Ecuador and the Andes have to offer,

This option provides a full linguistic and cultural immersion, since students not only practice the language in class with their teachers, but also have real-life experiences with their host family. They help students on their day-to-day, and teach them vocabulary and expressions that are typical of each region, and of each member of the family. This way, students get a first-hand approach on how to live Spanish speakers, their local gastronomy and jargon.
At home, students will share the common areas with the rest of the family: the living room, kitchen, bathroom, but they will have, of course, their own private bedroom. In case of couples or friends traveling together, the choice of a double room is also available.
Families have been carefully hand-picked to meet our requirements. As language experts, we know that being away from home can affect the student’s learning and overall experience. Thus, our families are used to welcoming students and making them feel part of the family. We select the family based on the students’ interests, so that this experience can provide both an academic and a personal enrichment.
Students can choose the half-board option, if they also want to try the delicious local cuisine offered by each destination at local restaurants, or full-board if they want to take full advantage of the experience of discovering traditional dishes, prepared with great care by the families.
The Director of each school, always at the student’s disposal, can change a student’s accommodation if the need arises. If the student is not happy and wants to change family, the School will propose the names of three additional families that the student can visit and then make his/her choice. There is no extra cost if a student decides to change families.
