Spanish Language School in Granada
Spanish Language School in Granada is an innovative educational and cultural center offering Spanish language classes, volunteer social service opportunities, and special programs to introduce you to the Nicaraguan people, their history, culture and natural environment.
Learn Spanish in Granada, Nicaragua!
Rising above the shores of Lake Nicaragua (the tenth largest lake in the world) Granada is one of the oldest Spanish colonial cities in the New World. A lively commercial and cultural center, Granada was frequently raided in its early years by Caribbean pirates. In the 1850s the city was briefly occupied by William Walker, the United States adventurer who declared himself dictator of Nicaragua.
The cool lake breezes, lovely colonial style architecture, and vistas of the towering Mombacho volcano make strolling through Granada a scenic delight. Located one hour south of Managua, Nicaragua's capital city, Granada provides access to many of the cultural and natural wonders of the country.
The Masaya National Volcanic Park, with its smoking craters, stunning views and pristine lake, is 30 minutes away. Boat excursions from Granada take you to Ometepe, a large island with a nature preserve, extensive hiking trails, and numerous petroglyphs and archaeological sites.
The Archipelago of Solentiname, a paradise of islands in the southern part of Lake Nicaragua, is home to a world-renowned artists colony, which was also an important center of resistance to the Somoza dictatorship. The Pacific beaches to the west, pristine rainforests to the east, and the Costa Rican border to the south are all within easy reach.
In Granada you can learn Spanish while enjoying natural beauty in an authentic Central American environment. Best of all, you will get to know the Nicaraguan people, famed for their hospitality, poetry, and love of life.
The School's building is a lovely colonial-style adobe located in one of the historic districts of Granada. It is built around two interior gardens, and the classrooms are comfortable and attractive.
We offer short and long-term intensive Spanish courses for beginning, intermediate and advanced students. Classes consist of one to four students working with Nicaraguan instructors.
Our student body is very cosmopolitan, so you will also get the chance to meet people from all walks of life and many different countries. Last year we had students representing 15 different countries, from Norway to Indonesia. Many were students or teachers, but we also had doctors, artists, fishermen, bricklayers, stockbrokers and retired folks. They ranged in age from 7 to 76.
At our School in Granada we strive to create an atmosphere of openness, trust, non-violence, compassion, and respect for all persons and give our students the best possible Spanish language training and experience of Nicaragua.
