How we create the points regarding what we like/dislike about a school

Location: Peru Spanish is in the East of Cusco, close to the International Airport. It is in the Santa Monica neighbourhood, a quiet residential area with hotels, local restaurants and a few shops.

Getting around: The city centre is a 30-minute walk from the school. An alternative is a 10-minute car ride. The major bus routes are on the main streets of the area. The closest bus station heading to the centre is 15 minutes by foot from Peru Spanish. The Wanchaq train station is a 37-minute, or 10-minute walk from the school.

Things to see: The main features of the city are in the historical central district of Cuzco. San Pedro Market, Qorikancha and Cusco Main Square are all found here. It takes 45 minutes to walk here, or 15 minutes by car, to reach this neighbourhood from the school.

Course structure: The school organises group Spanish classes in a variety of durations. There are private classes available for those who want to focus their learning on a specific field or work on their own personal challenges. Peru Spanish also organises special courses including medical shadowing and volunteering in a specific field.

The "standard 20" program consists of 4 hours of group classes, divided into 2 blocks; the first block focused on grammar and the second block on conversation and comprehension skills. The programme includes a Spanish book per week and extra class material, some classes could be developed outside the school depending on the level and subject to be developed. Classes are mostly in the mornings.

Special note for 2023 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2023 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2022 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2023 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.
