QUITO SPANISH LANGUAGE ACADEMY

The Quito Spanish school is located in the heart of the " New City ." Quito, Ecuador's capital, is nestled in an Andean valley at 2800 meters above sea level and has a pleasant spring-like climate all year around. With a population of 1.5 million people, Quito is a rich metropolis filled with museums, Spanish language schools, theaters, music, and dance.

"New Quito", with its modern office buildings, night clubs, shopping centers, and parks, is in stark contrast to "Old Quito". Old Quito is noted for its magnificent colonial architecture, old churches and open plazas. The spirit and colors of our friendly city are the result of both our Spanish roots and an ancient Incan culture which continues to thrive in Ecuador.

Our neighborhood is home to a vibrant food and artisan market and is filled with a variety of small restaurants and stores serving local delicacies and selling a random collection of merchandise.

The Spanish school is located within a renovated colonial-style house and is equipped with televisioin, free internet while in Ecuador, videos, barbeque, fireplace, library, storage room, and a common room for breaks. There is also a patio with garden to enjoy the sunny weather of Quito.

Our school address is Darquea Terán 1650 one block away from Avenida 10 de Agosto, the main form of North-South travel through Quito on the Trolley Bus. This system connects us to the historic Old Town, just ten minutes to the South and to the Quito Mariscal Sucre airport, 15 minutes to the North.
