The Language Institute
The institute occupies a beautiful colonial home from the 19th century on one of Cusco’s many small plazas, right behind the “Temple of the Sun” and only a few blocks from the Plaza de Armas, Cusco’s central meeting area. It offers an indoor patio, a video room, an auditorium, and wireless internet access for the students. The institute recently evolved into an accredited university, offering courses in Environmental Studies, Liberal Arts, Indigenous Culture, Entrepreneurial Development, Medical Vocabulary, and more.

The Classes
You can begin your studies at the school any Monday of the year and stay for as many weeks as you like. After an initial placement test, you will study Spanish at your level for four hours per day. Each class will consist of no more than four students to ensure that you will have plenty of opportunities to participate. Classes with a focus on Hispanic history and culture are also available!
Cultural Activities
The school organizes two to three afternoon activities and excursions per week, such as city tours, dance classes, lectures, trips to historical sites, and cooking classes. Budget a little extra to take advantage of these opportunities to further explore the area and the culture.
Special Option: Spanish and Medical Services!
If you are a medical student or a health care professional, this program is a great opportunity for you! You will learn about Peru’s medical system, gain insights into cultural practices and traditions, acquire specific medical vocabulary, and meet people who share your goal of promoting health and quality of life. Volunteer opportunities for students without a background in the medical field are also available. Call for specific dates and details!
Accommodations
Deepen your understanding of the Spanish language and the Peruvian culture by living with a local host family. Families are carefully selected and all homes are within easy walking or public transportation distance of the school. Your host family will provide breakfast, lunch and a light dinner each day.
