Setting

Diversity is the word that best describes Mexico’s people and geography. Over 50 different indigenous groups, each with its own language, comprise 28% of Mexico’s 83 million inhabitants. Divided by the Tropic of Cancer into the temperate North and the tropical South, the country boasts snow-capped volcanoes, jungle clad beaches, deserts, archeological ruins, modern cities, upscale resorts, and isolated villages.

Known as “The City of Eternal Spring,” Cuernavaca is blessed with a perfect climate and flowers year-round. The city is located only about 50 miles south of Mexico City. Cuernavaca is a popular weekend spot for the affluent from the capital because of the many restaurants, sidewalk cafes, and theaters.

School Information

Teen and adult program participants share the school facilities. The school is located in an upscale residential area, 15 minute walk from the central plaza. 2 buildings blended in together. Indoor and outdoor classes. Nice facilities with swimming pools, garden, small library, cafeteria selling food/snacks. Capacity is 325 students/day mainly from the United States and Canada.

Supervision: Please note although this program will accept teenagers from 16-18 this is an UNSUPERVISED PROGRAM. This program is for mature, independent teens who understand along with their parents/guardians that little supervision will be provided and that all teens will be treated like mature, independent adults by school staff and host families.
