Our weekly program starts every Monday, and it offers 20 hours of classes during the week. Students will have classes from Monday to Friday, from 8 in the morning to 12 noon with a 20-minute coffee break at 10 am. However, students may opt to begin their studies any day of the week.

During the afternoon hours, three days a week, students will have the option to choose from a variety of activities, including beach trips, fishing trips, volunteer activities, home-cooking classes, canopy tours, museum visits, dance classes, horse-back riding and more. (Activities may depend on the number and preferences of students) The school can arrange surfing classes and other trips that require additional fees.

The program includes a home-stay in the school and with a local family while you are studying at the school. Students will have one room with a private bath and three meals a day. Home-stays start each Sunday and extend through the following Sunday with scheduled departures at 11:00 am.

Wireless internet service is available for students in our school.

Our classes are one-on-one and totally in Spanish. All of our teachers and host families have several years of experience with students at every level.

Special arrangements and a variety of hotel accommodations to suit the needs of specific individuals are available upon request. We are flexible: just tell us what you want, and we will accommodate.

The school can set up a transportation service for you to be picked up on time at the airport. To do this, we will need your flight information, including airline, flight number, date and scheduled time of arrival.

We require a 50% deposit of the total program cost at least two weeks in advance of your scheduled visit. This deposit assures your reservation and covers the cost of initial arrangements on your home-stay arrangements, curriculum materials and other class preparations. Payment can be made via wire transfer from your bank to our bank in Nicaragua, or via a direct transfer of funds through Western Union or Money Gram. Upon receiving your registration information, we will send you more details regarding how to submit the deposit payment.
