Our Montevideo school offers you a variety of programs that adapt to your needs, making the most of your stay on the banks of the Río de la Plata.

From its modern skyscrapers to the colonial architecture of the Old City, Montevideo will surprise you with its lively urban rhythms, 30 kilometers of the promenade on the banks of the Río de la Plata, its vibrant markets, street fairs, and delicious cuisine, where barbecued beef is the most emblematic dish.

School location

The Montevideo school is located in the historic center of the city, a few steps from the most important cultural points. It is a unique building for the area since it was built in 1850 and restored years later, maintaining its original facade, but with a modern interior and fully equipped to teach Spanish with all the amenities. Between classes, you can go out onto the balcony and enjoy the views while you speak in Spanish with your classmates. Furthermore, when classes are over, many students go to the beach, only 3 minutes away, to take a walk, play sports or enjoy the sunset on the ocean.
