        Spanish courses in Sucre, Bolivia

Our goal is to introduce students to our customs, traditions and lifestyle through the Spanish Language. The language skills and cultural knowledge that you acquire will make your stay in Sucre more enjoyable and enrich your travels in South America.

Our teachers are young, qualified professionals, well experienced in teaching Spanish. They also have other professions such as: English, Quechua and French teachers, lawyers, tour guides, engineers, economists, agronomists and others.
Teachers accompany students in additional activities at the school and on short trips around Sucre, allowing you to experience the daily life, natural beauty and reality of our country.

We think an excellent way for students to practice Spanish, inmerse themselves in Bolivian culture and exchange experiences is to live with a Bolivian family.
