What we like about the school
- Located in a majestic building from the beginning of the 20th century.
- Multi-Destination Spanish Program.
Location: Don Quijote Santiago de Chile is located in the culturally rich Chilean capital city, Santiago. The school is housed in a unique and majestic building built in the early 20th century, in the renowned district of Providencia. Surrounding the school are many eateries, parks, restaurants and the neighbouring district of Bellavista. Attractions and sites of interest within walking distance of the school include the bohemian bars of Bellavista, the Gabriela Mistral Cultural Centre, the National Museum of Fine Arts, the Parque Forestal, the Fuente Neptuno, the Municipal Theatre of Santiago and much more. There are several links to public transport nearby. The Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport is around a 25-minute taxi or 80-minute journey from the school via public transport.
School facilities: The school facilities include a library, a movie room, an auditorium, a cafeteria, vending machines, social spaces and computer stations with WIFI.
Social and cultural: Santiago de Chile has much to offer in social and cultural attributes. The bars of the Bellavista neighbourhood, the city's museums, or the impressionable contrasts of the colonial and modern architecture of the city centre, provide much to see and do. The school is also very up-to-date with the local happening and events to assist students with making plans and getting the most from the city during their time in Santiago.
