The Academia has offered a completely integrated program of instruction in the Spanish language since 1959.
Enrollment is open year-round to motivated students on all levels.
The aims of the Academia are to prepare serious students for life among the people of Latin America, with special emphasis on Mexico, and to prepare them to function effectively among native Spanish speakers anywhere in the world. In the teaching of the language, the latest developments are used in classroom study, with emphasis on speaking. The methods stress the absorption of Spanish through its programmed presentation, constant use, and carefully guided conversations about interesting topics. Conversation teachers change classes daily. All teachers are university trained and specially trained in the Academia's methodology.
