Description: Our school is
located in an area of Santiago called Providencia, near downtown but
still retains a suburban touch. It will only take you 10-20 minutes
to get to the center of the city and you can find everything you need
within a couple of blocks. There are many restaurants, cafes, bars,
clubs, stores, metro stations, bus routes and parks. We have 7
classrooms, media center and library, lounge, two bathrooms, kitchen,
patio and offices. It is open from 8 am to 9 pm during the week and
from 9 am to 1 pm on Saturdays. Our group classes never have more
than 6 students and unlike other schools, we provide the students
with authentic course books with student CDs (not photocopies). We
offer accommodation and activities as part of the immersion
experience, as well as special programs such as skiing, salsa and
merengue, wine tours and cooking classes.

Escuela Fronteras is a Spanish
Immersion language school located in Santiago de Chile. Our holistic
methodology includes classroom instruction by college certified
teachers using original textbooks with audio of native speakers from
many Spanish speaking countries. Our free/non-profit in-school

provide a more significant cultural exchange for our students.
Finally our host families have all been carefully selected in
conjunction with the help of a psychologist to guarantee the best
possible experience.
