The Spanish school in Santiago de Chile is located in the nice neighborhood of Providencia, the most popular area for foreigners in Santiago. It is the ideal location for your Spanish immersion, close to many restaurants, bars, cafes, attractive parks, museums, cinemas and shops. Providencia is an upper-middle class neighborhood and is safe at all hours. The school is a large, comfortable, colonial-style building with spacious rooms. There are 12 classrooms available, which have a total capacity of about 70 students. Students have access to several common areas to enjoy breaks together. Furthermore the school provides free Internet access to the students in a special PC-room. The school is centrally located, just a few minutes away from the subway station and several bus lines. The popular area of  Bellavista is also accessable in only a few minutes walking.

The school was founded over 25 years ago and is one of the oldest and most succesful schools throughout Chile.

As the Spanish language has become more and more important over the years, the language school in Santiago offers special programs which promote speaking as well as listening comprehension. All teachers have a university degree and a lot of experience in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. The lessons are divided into twelve different levels (respectively four different beginner, intermediate and advanced levels) to ensure similar language skills in each class. On the first day of class, a placement test will determine your individual Spanish skills. Classes focus on three different topics: studying new grammar and deepening the application of the newly studied grammar with different exercises as well as conversation training.

The friendly and motivated teachers, who are, of course, all native speakers, will teach you Spanish in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It is completely up to you which Spanish course you book with us. You can choose among three different kinds. All courses are available for any Spanish level. Classes take place from Monday to Friday and always start on Mondays. One class lasts 45 minutes.

Group course: If you like to get to know other international students and study Spanish together with them, then the group course will be the best fit for you. The class has a maximum of six students to ensure personalized instruction and a convenient study environment. The standard group course consists of 20 classes per week.

Intensive course: The intensive course is the combination of the group course and additional private lessons. This assures you more personalized attention and allows you to fix language difficulties or to repeat certain topics with your private teacher parallel to your group course. You set the time schedule for the individual lessons and you can allocate the 10 additional private lessons flexibly during the afternoons.

Private course: Some students however book private lessons with a professor for 100% individualized attention. Classes are tailored to your specific needs and they are an excellent idea for professionals who seek a vocabulary for specific situations. The private course consists of 10 hours per week. Upon request the private course is also available with 20 Spanish lessons per week


Remember that the Spanish school in Santiago offers extra language tutorial lessons in the afternoon in order to help students repeat important topics or strengthen weaknesses. Every day one teacher is available to assist students in specific topics they need extra attention, reading suggestions, questions related to homework, etc. This is an extra value service, not comparable to private instruction but definitely beneficial to provide all the students maximum support.

Non-academic activities: In order to be able to familiarize you with Chilean culture and to get to know the country, the school regularly organizes spare time activities. Especially popular are the trips to Valparaíso or Viña del Mar on the Pacific coast, the excursions to Pablo Neruda's house on Isla Negra, rafting trips, skiing adventures, or wine tasting. You also can enjoy a wide range of workshops or activities during the week in the afternoon. A few examples are cooking lessons, dancing, barbecues, city walks, movie nights, and so on. You won't have time to get bored!

If you would like to learn Spanish through a unique human experience, volunteer work will give you an opportunity that lies beyond the ordinary traveler’s reach, getting to know other realities within Chile! Anyone who wishes to gain personal experience while getting to know people and new cultures from different social backgrounds is kindly invited to volunteer. Over the years, students, professionals and retirees have all been able to obtain the unique and enriching experience of volunteer work.

Additionally to our Spanish courses in Santiago de Chile we provide volunteer work positions. You can combine your Spanish course with volunteering and dedicate half of the day to volunteer work or you can schedule the volunteer experience after the Spanish course is completed.

Volunteering allows you to help people in need while practicing your Spanish in real life situations and training your newly acquired skills.

Located in the centre of the country, the Chilean capital Santiago is one of the most developed and safest cities in Latin America. This is reflected in modern buildings, clean and fast subways, and big green areas. Visitors also find huge shopping malls, unbelievable architecture, and outstanding infrastructure. Santiago is the country’s economic and political center being the biggest city in Chile with 6 million inhabitants. Santiago has high rated hotels, exquisite restaurants, fancy clubs, discos, museums, many universities, theaters, and a whole lot more.

The Museo de Bellas Artes, Museum of Beautiful Art, with its exhibitions of international artists, La Moneda, the government palace, and Plaza de Armas, the main square right in the center of the city, are definitely worth a visit, too. We also recommend taking the funicular railway up Cerro San Cristobal, the hill in the heart of Santiago, from where you can enjoy an amazing view of the entire city and the beautiful Andes mountains. These majestic Andes mountains give Santiago one of the most spectacular settings of any city in the world.

And, the mountains are not only nice to admire. They offer plenty of activities within easy reach of the urban sprawl including trekking, climbing, horseback riding, skiing, kayaking, rafting, and exploring glaciers, waterfalls and hot springs. If you are lucky you will even see a Condor.

Only a little more than an hour away is the Pacific coast, for those of you who want to combine metropolitan life with beach fun.
