Spanish Immersion School – (Oaxaca de Juárez)

(5/5) Tuve un tiempo maravilloso en la escuela de inmersión en español en Oaxaca y en Puerto Escondido. Mis profesores Yara y Jacob en Oaxaca fueron excelentes, al igual que Anna y Sophia en Puerto Escondido. Aprendí muchísimo y gracias a ellos pude llevar mi español al siguiente nivel. Recomiendo mucho esta escuela. ¡Muchas gracias!

(5/5) Language school and student resident. Some people only stay there, another take only classes there, and another does both. Students are mostly from the US, mostly retired people or something close. Although the classes are one-to-one style, I was able to make friends with other students. While I was there, no activities for students. I stayed with the host family via the school. The family was nice and also the teacher. No complaints. I was able to improve my Spanish even though my level was relatively high enough to have a good conversation with locals already.

(5/5) I just left a 10 day trip to Oaxaca where I stayed and studied at this school and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. They were flexible and worked with me to make everything work well for the time I had. I had two different teachers who both were great. I stayed at the school but they also have home stays and can recommend other accommodations. They are available for questions and recommendations and even cook you breakfast! I’m hoping to return in the future and bring my family.

(5/5) I just spent a week at Spanish Immersion School and it was a fantastic experience. I have studied Spanish at schools in Mexico, Costa Rica and Spain and this is the finest school I have ever encountered. Their one on one program is unique and extremely effective. Their teaching staff is motivated and engaged. I worked with two different instructors for a total of 4 hours a day and the experience was an absolute pleasure. Also, the school is located close to the center of Oaxaca within easy walking distance of fantastic restaurants. Anyone who is committed to Spanish should seriously consider this school.

(5/5) This is a very good Spanish immersion school that delivers consistently good and taylored instruction by consistently good instructors. There’s plenty of flexibility to modify your curriculum. This school is good for all levels of aptitude and experience. It’s located in a very safe neighborhood close to all of the best cultural experiences that Oaxaca has to offer. I could not recommend it more highly.

(5/5) I committed to 5 weeks here starting with an intermediate level in Spanish (probably high B1). I was a bit worried at first because this school had received so many good reviews online that I didn't know if I could trust them. My worries were all quickly dispelled. The school is professional and clearly maintains high standards for its teachers. My teacher Jacob had many years of experience and we had a lot of fun conversations fully in Spanish. My other teacher Ivan pushed me hard on my grammar and we had fun chats about culture and stereotypes of different countries. The homestay with Marina's family were all kind and helpful, giving useful recommendations of things to do, and filling breakfasts every morning (no shortage of food!).I highly recommend Spanish Immersion School from anywhere from a short 1 week tourist Spanish boost to something like a month long stay that I did.The cafe inside the school has good prices and delicious food, a great option for lunch if you don't want to leave.I probably left middle of B2.If I had one small note it would be that I wish I didn't have to pay in cash.

(5/5) I had a wonderful experience studying at the Spanish Immersion School for 1 month! My teachers Karen and Elvira were so nice, encouraging and tailored everything to my level and needs. I went from not speaking much Spanish to comfortably holding simple conversations during my time there. All the staff always made me feel welcome, and the on-site café made it easy to grab a meal or snack while learning.My classes were well-structured, with two hours of lessons with one teacher, an hour break, and two hours with the other teacher. The school also offered fun activities like market walks, tamale-making, and dance classes. I chose to stay at a nearby Airbnb and the school was very easy to walk to. I’d highly recommend this school and hope to return someday!

(5/5) I attended The Spanish Immersion School in both Oaxaca and Puerto Escondido in January 2024. It was a delightful experience, and I highly recommend this school!The staff and teachers are wonderful. The instruction is one-to-one. They are flexible and you can choose the length of the lessons. The school in Oaxaca offered tasty lunch options. They also had optional activities that included salsa lessons, a cooking class, and a musical concert, all of which we enjoyed. The school arranged a very affordable homestay nearby. The house was large and there were other students staying there. It was fun to have breakfast together with them.Oaxaca is an interesting, historical town with a number of excellent museums and quite a few good restaurants. The people are very friendly, and the weather in January is fabulous.The school in Puerto Escondido is near the beach. There is a swimming pool. It’s located in the laid-back surfer area of town where there are many restaurants. My friend and I had a lot of fun at these two branches of The Spanish Immersion School.
