The adult classes were fine, but the camp was not beneficial for English speaking students. There were less than 12 students learning Spanish and about 120 learning English, so everything was geared toward those learning English. I would not send my children back to the camp.

I wanted a shared flat, I do not consider a shared flat to be one where I am sharing with the owner. That would be my only criticism of lacunza Escuela.
