School
Our partner school is located in the peaceful district of El Batey, 5 minutes from central Sosua and the main beach. The availability of the teachers and staff, the small size of the school and the mini-group classes will allow you to study Spanish in a friendly atmosphere. There are 6 classrooms, a library, wireless-LAN connection and several terraces overlooking a magnificent tropical garden, available to students. The school also welcomes Dominican students wishing to learn English or German: a good opportunity to meet the locals and practise your Spanish outside of the classroom.Courses
