"The teachers are wonderful"

Megan Kalvass, student from USA

Everyone working at the school is very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. My teacher was wonderful and I improved my Spanish because of her. I also appreciated that the school organized weekly trips for the students. I didn’t stay with a host family so cannot speak to that. Quito’s school is located in a safe area of the city with many eateries nearby.

Something that I didn’t like, but didn’t color my experience at all, was that class never started on time. I realize that I am carrying my culture’s expectations about time with me, but I still felt that I should have gotten the full 4 hours of class daily.

"A great way to start off my stay in Ecuador."

Lisa Lloyd, student from USA

I liked the intimacy of the classes (we were just 3 students and stayed together as a group for the 3 weeks I attended classes). We spoke exclusively in Spanish, which was a great way to get used to speaking the language. The teachers were wonderful, different in their styles, but very personable. I enjoyed our discussions about culture, politics, science and the environment. There was homework every night - it felt like the right amount to reinforce the day's instruction.

"Personal encouragement by the professors!"

M de vries, student from Netherlands

I felt very welcomed by the school as well as the host family. They all had so much patience to help me master the basics of Spanish. I would definitely recommend to book private lessons as well as home stay, it is a great way to learn about the Ecuadorian culture and habits. Loved every minute!

"Great start to learning Spanish"

Richard Taylor, student from UK

Teachers were excellent, very small classes, 1-to-1 sessions helped me hugely. Loved the fact that Ecuadorian Spanish is slow and clear - and Quito has also been one of my favourite capital cities in Latin America.

Furthermore, it has kept its colonial charm in spite of growing to the size of 1 million.
The temperature is determinate by the altitude and the averages 60-70 during the day and 50 during the night.

The Academia Latinoamericana in QUITO, is set in the residential area of La Carolina, next to La Carolina
park (great place for students since they can practice sports such us soccer, basket, volley, jogging, aerobics, roller skating, etc and about 10.000 quitenos practice sports specially Saturday and Sunday), it is also close to the Metropolitan park, the biggest green area in Quito, which is a great place to go in order to do some jogging, running, mountain biking and have a fantastic view of the valley of Quito.

The school is located is a small street called Noruega, which is a residential area, full of good restaurants,
galleries, five shooping centers, many hotels around the school, several internet cafes, and much more!
