School

Our partner school is situated in the centre of Bocas del Toro, 15 minutes' walking distance away from the airport and also very close to the sea. The language school building has its premises in a pretty house with a garden. The 10 classrooms are spread out throughout the building and generally welcome mini-groups of around 3-4 students, which allows students to make rapid progress. Generally, classes take place in the morning, but it can occur that some classes are scheduled for the afternoon during the high season. A computer is available to students in order to access the Internet (paying) but the WiFi connection in the school is free if you use your own laptop. A student lounge allows you to meet other students during breaks or after your Spanish classes. Nearby, you will easily find Internet cafés, shops, supermarkets and restaurants for going out with your friends.
