This one week program includes 20-hours of Spanish Instruction along with a private room and bathroom in our brand new student residence (Hacienda NSI). The residence is under a kilometer to campus and about a 10 minute walk for 5 minute bike ride and about a 25 minute walk or 10 minute bike ride to the beach. Hacienda NSI is Tucked in a little local neighborhood and is a great option for those that want a more authentic neighborhood to experience and those looking for a relatively less expensive option than nearby hotels and airbnbs.

The residence only has 3 rooms so it' tends to fill up quickly. Each room has a private ensuite bathroom, AC, ceiling fan, wi-fi, hot water and double bed.  There is also a large, modern, shared kitchen with a large refrigerator, gas oven, coffee maker, air fryer, slow cooker, etc for your use.  There are nearby grocery stores as well to stock up.  There is also a shared common area and patio with hammock chairs, sofa, TV and couch.  It's not uncommon to see and hear the monkeys from the patio.

Check ins are Sundays between 3-8pm and checkouts are Sundays at 10am.

Classes are Monday thru Friday.

Cost: $350.00 per week

Class times will be from 8-1140am or 1-440pm depending on our level spread and amount of students for any given week.  While we cannot guarantee specific class times we always do our best to match student preferences. 

At NSI we use a communicative teaching methodology, where the main goal is the improvement of the students' communication skills, encouraging spontaneous and creative use of the language, using real communicative situations and activities that teach Spanish in the way we really use it.

Depending on how many hours of instruction students participate in, a typical day will consist of Spanish language classes Monday-Friday between the hours of 8am-5pm.  Lunch break runs from 11:40-1pm and students often walk down the street to eat at the cafes/restaurants, go surfing or stay at the school and eat.  2-3 days per week the school also organizes activities like cooking classes, salsa classes, half day trips to nearby beaches, waterfalls, etc.  You can view the actives on our activity board in the common area on campus.
