NRCSA: Cuernavaca - International Studies Center

Classes are held in the bustling, semi-tropical city of Cuernavaca, just 90 minutes south of Mexico City. The programs are well organized, and are designed to enable students to quickly communicate in Spanish. Additionally, the programs have a strong cultural component helping students to understand the Latin American Culture, enabling the students to understand the cultural nuances of the language. Students also enjoy the activities and excursions included in the program, including extensive field study excursions to sites of archaeological and historical interest in Mexico. Students of all ages and professions attend programs at this Center. The common bond of all the students is their desire to learn to speak the Spanish language, and an intellectual curiosity about the history and culture of Mexico.
