To
benefit from the total Spanish immersion experience, it is recommended
that students live with local families. The families have been
carefully selected and have worked with the Spanish language
school for many years. Most of them live in the colonia across
the street from the school and are within walking distance.
Please
note that additional info (prices, activities, etc) are found
to the right of this pages.
They are comfortable middle class families
who live in clean and well-maintained houses. Most of them speak
a little English, but we urge you to use as much Spanish as
possible. Some of them have children, some of them don't; some
of them have pets, some of them don't; some of them spend a
lot of time with the students and some of them let the students
have their "space".
The Señoras are excellent cooks; the
water in the homes is purified and the food is prepared with
the student in mind. There is a family for every type of student
with whatever needs that student may have.
Please let us know what your preferences are,
especially if you have dietetic restrictions or allergies. The
name of the family that you are going to be staying with can
be provided upon request so that your friends and relatives
know where to reach you while you are in Cuernavaca. If during
your stay, for any reason, you are not happy with your family
situation, the Spanish language school will make arrangements
for you with another family or, if you prefer, assist you in
making alternative living arrangements in one of the many beautiful
hotels in the city.
