The Institute is in a 4 story yellow building in front of Amazonas Highschool.
The institute is located in a strategic part of Quito since the Recreo Station is at a 13 min walk and from there you can get anywhere in Quito.
While volunteering I liked the amount of interaction I had with the students and being apart of their learning experience. Somethings that stood out to me the most was the staff and owners willingness to improve the school and bringing diversity into the classrooms through volunteers and media. Things that the school could improve is their young learners classrooms (decor and activities) and volunteer recruitment strategies.

Homestays are carefully selected and offer students the opportunity to learn more about the local culture in a comfortable setting while studying Spanish in Quito. These homes are often between 1 - 2 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine. If you have special requests or diet restrictions (because of religion or health reasons), please let us know in advance. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about homestay housing
