Staying in the home of one of our carefully selected traditional Mexican families is one of the truly outstanding
features of our Spanish language study program. One unique feature of our program is that we place only one student
per family unless otherwise requested. Our families are chosen from those of the students studying English here
with us. Since we have a student body of approximately 2000 students studying English, we can afford to use very
specific guidelines to find the family most suited to the Spanish student's needs. The homestay program has the
advantage of enabling the student to be completely immersed both in the intensive use of the Spanish language at
home as well as our way of life, our customs, and the traditional hospitality of a Mexican family. Homestay includes
three meals per day and begins one day prior to the beginning of the classes and concludes up to one day after
classes finish. Students do their own laundry.
PLUS! Mexican Cooking:
We encourage our families to have the students learn to prepare a traditional Mexican meal for lunch while in their
home on Mondays. We know of NO OTHER program that promotes this. Once you choose the dish you want to make, from our
Mexican recipe guide, your host family will provide you with the ingredients, support, encouragement and warmth to
help you make a traditional feast.
