Good to know

Questions students ask first

Can you help me get a student visa?
Yes. We're the only SETEC-accredited Spanish school on the Ecuadorian coast, which means we can issue the documentation you need for a student visa. Most other schools on the coast can't.
I'm a complete beginner — is that okay?
Absolutely. We teach every level from A1 (beginner) to C2 (advanced). A free placement test makes sure you start exactly where you should, and classes begin every Monday.
Where will I stay?
We arrange accommodation to fit your style and budget — hostel, private apartments, or a local homestay for full immersion. Tell us what you're after and we'll set it up.
Is Montañita safe, and what's it like?
Montañita is a friendly, international surf town on Ecuador's Pacific coast. The closest airport is Guayaquil. Our team helps with transfers and getting settled when you arrive.
Do you offer funded or accredited programs for Europeans?
Yes — we're accredited for German Bildungsurlaub (paid study leave) and Swedish CSN (state study aid). Ask us and we'll guide you through the paperwork.
