ECELA Mendoza
Mendoza, ArgentinaWhy choose ECELA Mendoza:
Gorgeous setting in an old house complete with terraces overlooking the snow-capped Andes and a patio with a barbeque.
Immersive language courses highly focused on conversational skills.
Perfectly located just 2 blocks from the main entrance of picturesque San Martín Park.
Plenty of activities outside of the classroom to discover Mendoza and its surroundings while immersed in the Spanish language and the Argentine culture.
Opportunity to switch to other ECELA schools in Argentina, Chile, and Peru.
ECELA Mendoza philosophy:
We carefully designed a Spanish cultural immersion for our students’ success, incorporating a “school hop” between our schools for a multi-culture (and multi-accent) experience and spending over half of each class in micro-group conversational activities to get the most speaking practice. We encourage our students to interact as much as possible with other students, staff members and with their hosts because we believe that lots of speaking time helps our students’ Spanish to not “just be good on paper”.
Courses offered:

“I only spent a week at ECELA Mendoza. It was the best experience of my trip. The staff are very friendly and have created a home away from home. They make it easy to feel part of the culture. I had my own housing, but I am sure it would have been lovely to have them arrange it. The school is in a beautiful neighborhood and Mendoza is a great town. Oh yes, and I learned a lot of Spanish, completely tailored to my level and needs. Everyone should take classes there.”
