One of the important features of this Spanish language study abroad program is the options that our partner school offer the student for housing accommodations. Intensive Spanish language learning is facilitated by actually living immersed in the language community.  

Homestay program, which allows the student to stay in the home of one of the school's carefully selected traditional Mexican families. The school offers to place only one student per family, thus assuring full immersion in the use of Spanish while being at home. Besides improving oral fluency, this program also promotes a greater understanding of the culture of Mexico. The cost is $98 USD per person per week and includes 3 meals per day (unlike some schools that only offer 2 meals per day). This price is for a private room (private bathrooms depend upon availability). Shared rooms can be provided upon request.
