One of the great advantages of learning Spanish at our Montañita school is the small class sizes. The Standard course (20 lessons per week) has a maximum class size of only five students. In such small classes, you’ll receive plenty of attention from your highly-skilled teachers, so your Spanish will quickly improve! If you’d like to learn at an even quicker pace, Private Lessons are available too.

For both beginners and experienced surfers, Montañita is one of the best surfing locations in South America! It offers reliable waves and a real surfing culture. Our school’s Spanish & Surf course comprises five 90-minute surf lessons with a professional instructor (plus board) per week, to be taken in conjunction with a Spanish language course.

Other activity courses run by the school include kitesurfing, scuba diving, Salsa and yoga. Any of these programs can be combined with a Standard Course or individual tuition.

Why not give something back to the local community as you learn Spanish in Montañita? Anybody can take a Volunteer Work program, helping in schools, clinics, nurseries or veterinary practices.
