Description: The School is an established and approved institution in Playa del Carmen. It has the best location in the city, which is one block (two minutes´ walk) from a beautiful Caribbean beach with aquamarine waters and next to Quinta Avenida (5th Avenue). This is the heart of the city and the spot where night life abounds.

Since our Partner School keeps classes small, it can offer the most effective and intensive language learning atmosphere. Students appreciate the training and rapid results which are due to our education and experience.
Imagine a school set in a lush, tropical garden. Now, imagine classes which are held under an open palapa roof (the traditional palm leaf roof), in air conditioned classrooms, or on a terrace with an ocean view. Students love to take classes on the terrace because of the sea breeze. It's never too hot, and the students can enjoy the reason they came here, the wonderful climate of the Mexican Caribbean with beautiful, exotic surroundings.

After class:
Right around the corner of the school with only 2 min walking distance students can enjoy the most famous and most beautiful beach of Playa del Carmen: Mamita's Beach Club. After classes they can relax at this wonderful beach with the turquoise waters of the Caribbean.

Highlights: Today, Playa is a mixture of interesting, small native owned shops, charming restaurants, and modern boutiques, as well as luxury condominiums and hotels. This unique mixture creates variety and satisfies various kinds of tastes and interests. The heart of the city is the Quinta Avenida (5th Avenue) with its many shops, bars, night clubs and restaurants. One block from the center, you can find the famous white Caribbean beach of Playa del Carmen. Here you can swim, relax, play beach volleyball, or go snorkelling or scuba diving. Temperatures are comfortable and mild all year with approximately 260 days of sun per year. Playa del Carmen is the ideal place to combine a language course with a vacation.

Playa has a lot more to offer than just sunshine and fabulous beaches. You can trace the mysterious background of the Mayans through a visit to the well preserved pyramids of Tulum, Coba, Ek Balam or Chichen-Itza and get to know the fascinating history of this part of Mexico.
