One of the important features of the Academia experience is that, unlike other study abroad programs which require some degree of fluency, students with little or no Spanish may enrol and study for as long as time permits. Thanks to our excellent testing program you are placed in a class at your exact level of ability. Weekly evaluations enable all students to move through weekly classes in such a way that they are continually challenged but not frustrated by being slightly ahead or slightly behind their classmates. The number of participants in any class is never more than five, and is frequently less. Students move in and out of classes on a weekly basis depending on their ability and their motivation for outside study. Our teachers are all native Spanish speakers who have received extensive training in teaching their language to adult learners.

Academia Latinoamericana is proud to announce an exciting new development in the field of international education. We are now a University! This is a giant step forward for Academia Latinoamericana students, as it offers a unique opportunity for studies in Business Administration, Environmental Studies, Entrepreneurial Development, English as a Second Language and general Liberal Arts Studies including coursework in History, Indigenous Culture, Medical Vocabulary and more. Service Learning, Internships, North American university credits and custom programs on a year-round basis continue as before.
