"Excellent teaching and excellent location"

Brittany Davis, student from USA

The teachers are fantastic-- I had Paul and Stalin and was so sad to leave the school. The classes are tiny--I only had 4 students in mine including myself. The location and facilities are so much nicer than anything I would have seen in the states and the activities were so much fun. Ronny, the surf instructor, was absolutely the best sports teacher I've ever encountered. He was very talented but also knew how to break it down for beginners.

While settling in and learning a new language can be hard when you arrive in a foreign country, having the support of a local family and a connection to the local community can make all the difference.

We have our own accommodation especially for our students. An Oasis of tranquility located just 5 minutes walk from the school and 3 minutes walk from the centre of town. Nestled into the relaxed atmosphere of “Barrio Tigrillo” these Cabanas provide the best of both worlds, being moments away from the center of the action and providing the peace and tranquility needed to make the most of your time in Montanita.

Our Eco Cabanas are very spacious and come equipped with a private ensuite, large bed, hammocks and a fan. Just outside the door of your Cabana you will find a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, large communal kitchen and a large sitting area with TV and DVD.
