Positive aspects of school
Large, high-ceilinged rooms, clean. Teachers and staff very friendly. The school is in a very quiet location compared to the "sister school" in Santo Domingo.
City/place
Personally, I didn't like the town. Lots of "typical" tourists and an incredible amount of prostitution. OK during the day, but not an option for me in the evening.

The teachers are super committed and friendly! They cater to individual wishes and see it as their personal goal that you learn and understand as well as possible! I couldn't have wished for a better team. From supplies to organisations, everything is brilliant! Extremely recommendable.

Accommodation near the school so that you can go home during the lunch break!

I'm glad I chose Sosua. Small but beautiful! Brilliant beaches, nice people! Highly recommended.
Quality of teaching / language progress
A lot in a short time! But the one-to-one lessons in the afternoons made it easy to deepen my knowledge. I learnt a lot in a short time! Highly recommended.

Positive aspects of school
What I liked most was the building, the friendliness of the teachers, the location in a quiet corner but in the city center and the ability of my teacher to coordinate with me that I am a doctor, philologist and polyglot.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Good only for elementary and middle level students.
Other comments
The School should have informed me that they did not have a program for me, without any teaching material. I mentioned it on my registration so I could have avoided the loss of a lot of money I spent for a two-week registration.
