Program Overview:
AZ Santiago |
| |
AZ Santiago is conveniently
located in the neighborhood of Providencia, an elegant shopping
district between downtown Santiago and the peaceful residential
neighborhood of Las Condes. The Spanish language school is
just a few blocks from Santiago’s efficient metro system,
which provides easy access for students going downtown or
to any other part of the city. The Spanish school in Santiago
was founded in 1986, and over the years, the school has gained
a world wide reputation for the quality of Spanish language
immersion programs that it provides.
The
Spanish language school in Chile has been a pioneer in the
development and use of interactive video laserdiscs in the
teaching of languages, and has produced their own instructional
films in Spanish. Despite all this technology, the "human
element" remains the key to the methodology used by the
Spanish school. Further more, the Spanish language school
in Santiago prides themselves on providing professional language
training with special attention given to the unique and individual
needs of their students.
Besides offering great
programs, the Spanish school has some of the best facilities
found anywhere in Latin America or Spain. As with many of
our other schools, we not only provides general Spanish language
study, but can also provide specialized programs for businesspeople,
medical personnel, lawyers, etc. Check with us for more details
about these specialized programs.
The Spanish school
in Chile also offers a number of different excursions for
our Spanish students, one or two afternoons a week. The excursions
usually last about three hours and are guided by one of the
Spanish teachers. These outings give students a chance to
practice their Spanish and to learn more about Santiago and
Chile. |
