ANDEO offers custom designed Gap programs for educators who want to refresh or deepen their knowledge of the language and culture they teach, or improve their skills in the native language of their students. We work closely with each educator to plan a program that fits their individual goals, schedule and interests. 

The two core components of all ANDEO programs are small-group language courses and a homestay with a local family. From there, participants can choose their own focus. For example, they can enroll in a university level course on indigenous cultures in Peru, gain fresh inspiration in a teaching methodology workshop in Barcelona, Bilabao or San Sebastian, or experience a different teaching environment through a community service project in Ecuador.

ANDEO programs can last from two weeks to several months and are available year-round. Academic credit is also available!
