Four language skills, grammatical reflection and the knowledge and comprehension of the Mexican culture. It makes an approach through different perspectives: the linguistic, the thematic and the cultural. The language class size never exceeds five students and may be smaller. All instruction is provided by a native speaker and Spanish is the exclusive language of instruction.

Spanish classes Monday through Friday, and cultural activities listed in the weekly school schedule. To complete the total immersion, we recommend the student to live with a Mexican host family and enjoy weekend excursions to the most representative samples of prehispanic, colonial and modern Mexico.
