Description: Celec offers many Spanish courses. Besides learning Spanish, our students are able to practice it in every activity we have to offer: Volunteer work, horse-back riding, tennis, golf, a day in the countryside.

Accommodation is available in host families and University residences.

Due to Cordoba's mountains, it is an excellent base for organizing excursions to the surrounding natural beauty, some of which is just a few kilometers away from downtown. For those that love nature, ecotourism will give them a chance to enjoy trail walks, photographic safaris, and horse rides. For those who prefer risk and adrenaline there is adventure tourism at hand, providing 4x4 rides, rappel and rock climbing, among others.

Highlights: Teaching and learning is not only about giving and receiving specific contents; learning a foreign language inside a different culture is a much more complex process that requires certain material, organizational and emotional conditions in order to be successful. Generating these conditions is our main concern.

Our school is not massive; on the contrary, it provides friendly personalized attention, in which the student will find answers to his/her own needs and interests.

The school is situated in a residential area, in one of the most prestigious neighborhoods of Cordoba. This is also one of the city areas more related to education, some of the best schools and an important private university are located here. Downtown is only a 20 minutes bus ride away. But the area has its own facilities, with many banks, shops, malls, restaurants, bars, pubs, cinemas and discos.

Our school also has a department that advises and helps the student in tourist, sports, leisure and cultural activities. Information about leisure and cultural activities in the city and how to get to them is offered daily.

This department also gives the student all necessary information for learning and practicing alternative sports such as gliding, mountain bike, rappel, climbing and windsurf.

For the immersion program, if you want to learn about a specific subject or field, whether professional, commercial, cultural or sport related, our school will provide the links with institutions or specialists.

If you wish to visit other regions of Cordoba and Argentina we offer you all tourist information and advice.

CELEC Argentina's Mission Statement: CELEC is a center specialized in Spanish for foreigners that combine both academic excellence and warmth of individualized education. Our school provides friendly personalized attention, in which the student will find answers to his/her own needs and interests. Our programs are designed so that the student develops a communicative competence and knowledge of the language out of specially selected linguistic and cultural material and by constant interaction with the Cordobian society as a whole. The best knowledge of a language is the one acquired through cultural and personal experience; a living language is best learned in its own world, its culture, its myths and everyday rituals. Our school gives you the unique opportunity to combine traditional lessons in the classroom with an immersion in Argentinean culture and way of life.
