NRCSA: Cuernavaca - Cuernavaca Universal

The main purpose of the program is to provide intensive individualized language instruction to students from all walks of life. The facilities include 20 classrooms, a small library with books in English and Spanish, a cafeteria, serving light breakfast foods and rich Mexican delights, a clean swimming pool, extensive tropical gardens, a ping-pong table, and volleyball and racquetball courts. The ample grounds offer plenty of comfortable spaces to study or relax. Maximum enrollment is 50 students, and the average group size is 2-3 students per teacher (maximum 5:1). The small classes enable teachers to give individual attention to each student. The staff strives to create and maintain a comfortable atmosphere, and encourages spontaneous conversational exchange and productive social activities.

Therefore, we strongly recommend that students take advantage of the opportunity to live with a Mexican family. Through daily interactions and a deepening relationship with the family members, the student will inevitably be provided with an excellent opportunity to improve his/her Spanish, while exploring firsthand the cultural context of the language, and embarking on new and enriching relationships. Families are arranged based on the student's request, for private or shared rooms with Mexican families, in and around Cuernavaca. Three meals a day are are included.
