Having students speak in class is a core aspect of Escuela Bellavista’s methodology. That's why there is a maximum of just eight students in a group class, who are separated by levels after being evaluated on the first day with a placement test.
Apart from teaching all the traditional aspects of learning a new language such as reading, writing, listening and speaking, the lessons also incorporate themes related to Chilean culture in order to speed up all of the international students’ integration.
Every lesson lasts for 45 minutes.
