What we dislike about the school

The school is housed in the Commercial Centre of Guadalmina, close to the Guadalmina Golf club and is only 5-minutes from the beach.

Methodology: The methods behind the teachings of the school take a communicative and task-based approach, incorporating all the linguistic skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking) necessary, for comprehension of and communication in Spanish. Total immersion in Spanish communications is seen as the key to ensuring students reach their language goals with Spanish being the only spoken language in the classroom.
