Ecuador- The Perfect Study Abroad Destination!
STUDY ABROAD PROGRAMS IN QUITO AND CUENCA!
Cosmopolitan capital city Quito or tranquil and colonial Cuenca offer the perfect locations for your Study Abroad Program. Our professionally developed "communication methodology" will encourage you to develop your speaking and listening, and reading and writing, as you get to practice each day by volunteering in one of the many grass-roots and community projects that we support in and around these cities.
Learning Spanish in-country goes way beyond what you can achieve by taking a regular university course. You will increase in confidence and communication skills on a daily basis, to return home a competent and confident Spanish speaker.
🔶 Study at either or both of two UNESCO declared World Heritage Sites!
🔶 Our schools are located in the heart of the historic district of both cities!
🔶 A wealth of surrounding museums, churches and plazas offer plenty of culture, history and ambience that you will never tire of exploring - either with a teacher or on your own
