2 schools, 30 years of experience in teaching, and over 40 partners worldwide: IIC provides an authentic immersion experience and quality Spanish language teaching in a family-like, Caribbean setting.
ABOUT THE SCHOOL:
Instituto Intercultural del Caribe (IIC), founded in 1994, is the Spanish Department of the German-Dominican Language & Culture Institute EDASE. With its 2 schools, one in Santo Domingo and one in Sosua, IIC offers its students the unique possibility to explore the country's diversity in life-style, culture and nature and discover two very distinct faces of the Dominican Republic. They can even combine both study locations within one program if they wish.
The Institute offers mini-group courses and tailor-made private classes all year round with highly qualified and experienced Spanish teachers. IIC intensive courses are accredited in Germany for educational leave (Bildungsurlaub) and for university credits through Seton Hill University in Pennsylvania (US) www.setonhill.edu Preparation courses for the DELE exams, specialized Business Spanish programs as well as tailor-made programs for Study Abroad Groups are available. Special leisure time add-ons like scuba diving, wind/kite surfing or dancing can be booked in addition to a Spanish course.
The Sosua School is centrally located in Sosua in the district of El Batey, within a stone’s throw of the next beach and a little colmado (typical Dominican mom-and-pop store) and a 15-minute walk to the city center with its supermarkets, shops, restaurants, bars, and the public transportation stations. Sosua’s main beaches Playa Sosua and Playa Alicia are also only minutes walking away.
The school building, surrounded by a colorful tropical garden, offers the ideal ambiance for concentrated learning in a relaxing surrounding. Classes often take place on one of the sheltered, airy terraces outside.The indoor classrooms are decorated in a simple, Caribbean style. Cozy sun-chairs in the garden, games, and a small collection of light reading are to be used by all students.
The students have free wifi internet access at the school.
The garden, its terraces, and an open-door communal area create a personal and friendly environment, ideal for relaxation and exchange of experience. They serve as meeting places for the students from abroad learning Spanish as well as the school’s local students who learn German and English in the same building.
