Specific schedules are flexible. Typically, a student will have two hours of class in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. Some students prefer a more intensive 5 hours daily Monday to Thursday to sight see during the weekend. Students may begin any week of the year except during the winter holiday season, generally between December 15 and January 3, when the Institute is closed. The length of the program is determined by the student.
All teachers are qualified and experienced teaching professionals.
No previous knowledge of Spanish is required except where otherwise indicated. Generally, U.S. universities consider 15 hours of study to be equal to 1 semester credit.
