Overview
We have Spanish-language study abroad programs for students and travelers at three locations in El Salvador: Santa Ana, San Salvador, and an outpost at Puerto La Libertad, a coastal surfing destination. You can transfer between locations. The La Libertad location consists of our experienced Spanish teacher coming to you at your accommodation for one on one teaching, and of course surfing at one of the best locations in Central America. The coast in and around La Libertad is blessed with a rare combination of wind, current and shore that makes the waves just so perfect. There is classic 1000 yard ride from La Libertad into the beach. Reputed to be the best surfing in Central America – La Libertad is not to be missed.
We offer Spanish language instruction at all levels, and our basic lesson plan consists of twenty hours of study a week, four hours day. You can begin on any Monday, and will be given a placement exam upon your arrival to determine your level of instruction. Our class size is limited to 8 students. We also offer one-on-one Spanish classes
