The newest CEVES school is located just off the main street in Puerto La Cruz known as the Paseo del Colon. You will find the area to be safe and peaceful, yet very close to everything of importance within Puerto La Cruz: shops, museums, parks, restaurants, and bars. It is located in the heart of the city, and as such is the ideal place for students to spend time before and after class.

CEVES has been around for 12 years, and during this time has become recognized as one of the best Spanish language schools in South America. Past participants (including oil executives and foreign embassy personnel) have rated the program and the city as excellent. The facilities are located in a modern high-rise and are perfectly suited for small group and private Spanish language instruction.

In addition to the Puerto La Cruz location, CEVES has a main branch in the cosmopolitan city of Caracas. By offering courses in two different cities, students have the chance to explore two very different parts of Venezuela while receiving the same top quality Spanish language instruction at either location.

Besides offering excellent Spanish language programs, CEVES also offers (and or assists in arranging) a variety of interesting cultural activities and weekend excursions allowing student the chance to really get to know Venezuela.

As with many of our other schools, CEVES not only provides general Spanish language study, but can also provide specialized programs for businesspeople, medical personnel, teachers, lawyers, etc.
