Packages

The ICC offers packages for students looking to integrate their Spanish lessons, excusions and accomodations all into one cohesive program.

Program for Teenagers

Main goals of the Spanish teen programs:

  • Learning Spanish in a friendly and healthy multicultural environment
  • Helping students to practice their newly acquired language skills through field trips
  • Experiencing the culture and traditions of a great historical city through supervised excursions and cultural activities
  • Studying and playing fun games while discovering a new culture
  • Meeting local and international people and making new friends
  • Cultural exchange through “intercambios” – meeting local teenagers who wish to practice their English in exchange for practicing Spanish with the students
  • Optional volunteer work with local orphans

Program for families

If you are coming to Oaxaca with your children, we have now a special program for the whole family. Children from 6 to 12 years of age have the opportunity to learn Spanish through entertaining, lively and educative activities using the method of Total Physical Response. While the children are having fun studying with our experienced and skilled teachers, the parents can take classes appropriate for their language level or just enjoy their time in Oaxaca on their own.

This package, especially designed for children, offers 3 hours of Spanish daily, various workshops and fun activities. The classes are held from 9 am till 12 pm. The first 90 minutes module includes Spanish conversation, grammar in action, Mexican games and songs. During the second part of the class the children visit Oaxacan markets and famous Oaxacan artisans. Thanks to the Total Physical Response method, children learn vocabulary quickly and easily while putting what they have learned immediately into practice.

Next to the school there is a lovely new park for children up to 12 years where they can safely play and encounter Mexican children. There are also fun workshops and field trips that will help the little students to practice newly acquired language skills while playing and having fun.

We will be happy to assist you in finding the ideal accommodation for the whole family. Oaxaca offers a wide range of apartments, as well as B&Bs and hotels for every budget. Please let us know about your dates and preferences.

"The teaching staff at ICC is fantastic.  The classes were organized to facilitate real life conversations, which was exactly the practice I needed. The school is also located in a great part of the city, close to the heart of centro historico.  I plan to return."

-Marla Renn

Vancouver, Canada


“Their approach of practicing speaking Spanish all the time while using correct grammar worked so much better for me than my first school's approach of many hours of learning grammar and then speaking for only part of class.”

- Tim Wang,
United States


“Probably my favourite time at the ICC was the excursions. Yolanda (the director) took us personally on tours of the surrounding pueblitas, showing us the specific hand crafts that each town specialized in, often including a demonstration of the traditional methods the still use.”

- Tim Wang,
United States

"The spanish classes at the ICC were great. They were the perfect balance of educational, informative and fun. The teaching was very professional and personal and the atmosphere was just right. We highly recommend the ICC to anyone who wants to learn Spanish!"

- Jonathan Thaw (April 2012)

“As an advanced student of Spanish, I have to look carefully for language schools that can help me, so I was delighted to find that the instruction in ICC was so in-depth. Because of the school’s association with the Oaxaca Times, the staff are a well-informed resource for what goes on in this beautiful city.”

- Jim Innocent

“I was pleased with the flexibility of the school to meet my needs – they designed an advanced class appropriate for my language level, met me at the airport despite flight complications, and organized excursions based on the sights I wanted to see in Oaxaca Valley.”

- Sarah Roggero,
United States

“The ICC's classes focus on practical Spanish. It helped me better understand what people say and what they mean... and in turn helped me to become more fluent, not just linguistically, but culturally.”

- Marie O'Brien,
