  1. "We've been teaching Spanish to students from all around the world for 20 years"
  2. Besides, we have prepared students to take the Official Spanish Exams since 1990,obtaining excellent results (an average of 85%-100% of our students succeeding).



  3. THE BUILDINGS: The two buildings of the School are antique houses fully renewed, located in the ALBAYZIN, the oldest quarter in Granada. It only takes 2 minutes to get from one building to the other. From any of the buildings you can enjoy the overwhelming views of Sierra Nevada and the Alhambra palace.



  4. THE RESIDENCE: It is the main building of the School, which includes most of the classrooms and the Secretary's Office. You can also find the library, movie room, computer room, kitchen, living room, games  and study room. In the terraces you can sunbath while you enjoy the views of the Alhambra..There's also a nice patio in the middle of the building, with the typical colomns, arab fountain and cobblestoned floor, where parties and concerts can be held. It is the place where teachers, Mercedes (the "mum" and matron of the school) and 12 students live, in single luxury rooms "en suite", with TV, CD player, telephone and Internet connection.



    "Had you ever dreamt of living in a XVIIth Century house, in front of the Alhambra?"
  5. EL CARMEN DEL ALJIBETRILLO: XVIIth Century house next to an aljibe (arab water tank from the XIV century). Mudejar wooden ceilings, colomns, fountains, terraces and patios where you can enjoy the spectacular views of the Alhambra palace and Sierra Nevada, old arabic cellar, sauna, small gym and hidromassage. It's the second building of the School where lessons are also held and some students live in medieval rooms with traditional furniture, TV, CD player, telephone and Internet facilities, etc...



  6. ARRIVAL TO THE SCHOOL: We receive students to our School every Sunday, when we show them the School, test their Spanish level and organize them in different groups .Mercedes, the "warden" in charge of accommodation, takes care of the students, trying always to make them feel comfortable in their new home. The departure day for students who have finished their course is always on Saturday.
    "all along the year, students arrive every Sunday afternoon and leave every Saturday morning."
