Escuela Horizonte
The integrated Spanish study program at Escuela Horizonte is based on three components: the Spanish language program, the afternoon activity program, and the homestay family program. The Spanish language program is specifically tailored to meet your needs as a beginning, intermediate or advanced student. You set the pace and determine the direction your class takes by stating what your expectations, goals, and needs are. Classes are Monday through Friday for four hours each day with a mixture of grammar, pronunciation, sentence structure, listening exercises, reading, and conversation. The afternoon activity program is designed to raise awareness about cultural issues relevant to Nicaragua such as the history, politics, and economics that have come to form the current Nicaragua. The homestay family program as well serves to provide you with opportunities to practice speaking Spanish while learning about Nica families and our culture. You will have a room of your own complete with meals and an opportunity to learn about Nicaragua from generous, open families.

Viva Spanish School
We are a new, dynamic school in the heart of Managua, and offer unique classes designed to nurture both the confidence and knowledge that leads to fluency. We believe that a solid foundation in all four skill areas, reading, writing, listening and speaking, is essential to achieve an effective level of communication. We stand out from the crowd because of our unique system of grammar teaching in English. Studying grammatical structures in your mother tongue guarantees thorough understanding, meaning you can then apply those structures in any other situation. We also rotate our teachers , meaning that you will have two different teachers in any class. The change of teacher brings a fresh perspective and lengthens your attention span. The classes are carefully coordinated so that your learning process is not interrupted, but rather enhanced by this rotation.
