The School

Our partner school in Mexico’s Playa del Carmen is just a mere 6 blocks distance from the inviting white sand beaches. Better yet, classes are held outside under thatched roofs amidst our own tropical gardens, so you can enjoy the full Caribbean experience while soaking in the knowledge of a new language.

The school provides a well-stocked library, open-air and air-conditioned conference rooms (perfect for guitar and salsa classes), a cafeteria, a volleyball court and gardens where you can relax during breaks or after the classes.

Our Opinion

There is a lot to explore around Playa del Carmen. You can hop on the ferry to Cozumel for world-class scuba diving, explore an abundance of nearby Mayan ruins or head to Cancún for shopping and wild nightlife. Enjoy the best of the city’s white sands, crystal clear Caribbean waters and lush tropical vegetation that will make up your day-to-day landscape.

It’s a heavenly setting for learning about Mexican-Caribbean culture while immersing yourself in the Spanish language.
