Contact Page - Spanish School in Quito, Ecuador

Colonial Spanish School, Quito:
Colonial Spanish School is located in Quito, we provide Spanish lessons for all levels. Our school was founded in 1991 by an European and an Ecuadorian, with the aim of bringing together the best of European and Latin American culture: European gravity and structure with South American “joy of life”. This doesn't mean that we only take European students – in fact, many of our students come from Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, for example.

Our main aim is to provide high quality Spanish language instruction and cross-cultural education in an atmosphere of respect for the individual. A secondary aim is to contribute to a greater understanding among people of diverse cultural backgrounds. Our philosophy is to treat both staff and students with respect, and to learn from cultural differences. We encourage an atmosphere of support, openness and understanding. Our courses include not only the Spanish language but also South American cultural awareness. We want you to have fun in the process of your learning! Opportunities to live with an Ecuadorian family and do social work.

The teachers at Colonial Spanish School are university graduates or licensed language instructors. They are hired based on their performance in both a written exam and an interview. All of our teachers have undergone an intensive 100-hour course of teaching instruction with us. Professional development and advice is provided continually.

We'd like to welcome you to Ecuador and Quito, and we hope you have an enjoyable and rewarding stay here, and enjoy studying Spanish.
