Spanish in Havana

Havana is as much a capital of faded glory as of high; a place where little is allowed but anything is possible; a place defined by its contradictions and struggles that is slowly and currently rising like a phoenix from the ashes.
 

About Havana

The city itself is a beautiful pastiche of architecture, from Baroque and Neoclassical monuments to the Vedado neighborhood, where most of our host families live and Art Deco buildings abound. Old Havana and its fortifications are protected by UNESCO, so as you stroll through picturesque streets you'll feel yourself immersed in a living, breathing, intact artifact of a once prosperous capital's history. You can also head to the northern shore and amble along the popular "Malecón", a stretch of coastline where natives and visitors alike gather to walk, mingle, revel in the sight of Havana's landmark buildings and gaze out onto crystal blue waters.

The Spanish School in Habana

Our partner school in Havana is unique in that it is not centralized in a physical building! Instead, to be sure you truly experience Cuban culture and the Cuban people, we provide an intimate, personalized learning experience with well trained, highly educated teachers of Spanish.

You'll take your classes either in your teacher's home, in the home of your host family or, for certain mini-group courses, in a Cuban cultural centre. In all three cases, you'll learn Spanish surrounded by native speakers and the culture you've travelled to Havana to explore.

The Havana school is affiliated with UNEAC (Unión de Escritores y Artistas de Cuba), one of the country's most respected cultural organisations.
