The school felt like a second home. It was a comforting place to go in a foreign country. The teachers are great, and they keep classes exciting with games and conversation. Manuel, the program director, helped us out with all the difficult tasks one has to do when arriving somewhere new. It was an incredible relief having someone there when I was having bank problems or couldn't find any scrubs for volunteering in the hospital. Thanks Manuel!

If you are volunteering in the health field, bring scrubs!

All of the teachers were extremely helpful and always made sure I was learning and enjoying myself.

If you have time then you should definitely go to Roatan! Also enjoyed going to the movies with the other students.

The teachers did a great job of mixing things up so you never got bored of classes.

Go to Roatan one weekend while you're taking classes in La Ceiba!

It would have been more beneficial for me to have a host family who didn't speak English, so that's something for future students to keep in mind.

The environment was quite good for studying.

The curriculum was tailored to my needs

Ask about doing lessons outdoors at Sambo Creek or La Quinta Hotel in La Ceiba.

The Jungle River Lodge option is worth the extra bucks, but my teacher had a struggle going back and forth from the city to the lodge every day. Manuel was reevaluating that option when I last talked to him.

helpful teachers and social contact to other students

one on one focused instruction

If you don't already know about it, ask them about opportunities for service (hospital, etc.) before coming. I wish I had known about them.

The teachers that I dealt with were all well qualified. My 2 teachers were patient, and very good at focusing on what I needed to work on.

Family and Teachers

Bring a dictionary of verbs and don't forget to check out Roatan!

This was an excellent school with fabulous teachers and administrator. The family was superb with an amazingly beautiful house. I would highly recommend this school because of the city, the proximity to so many things to do, the profesionalism of the teachers, and the overall program of the school in general. Thanks Manual!

the teacher where very friendly and did in their private time a lot of things with me (city night life,...)

dictionary book in your own language

the school is very good. if your hear anything else, don´t believe it!

very friendly staff, air conditioning and free drinking water

the school doesn´t offer studying material except for some copies. so it is necessary to come prepared (dictonary, grammarbook) to la Ceiba. For all those who are not english native speakers it's more difficult to learn spanish because the school teach only in english.

1 to 1 teaching

The disco "Cassona", the "Black and White" and the whole "Zona Viva" as well as the Salsa lessons.

Very friendly and well prepared teachers.

very friendly people

rent a motorbike and go to the Rio Crancrejal

It is located in the middle of a small city that offers abundant opportunities for immersion in the culture. I also liked the 1:1 attention from staff.

See as much of the city and surrounding area as you can.
