| The Solexico Spanish school, located just six blocks from the white sand
beaches, is designed specifically for our programs in the typical Caribbean style.
This open architecture creates a relaxed and inviting atmosphere that encourages
intensive learning. Due to the area’s year-round temperate climate,
Spanish classes take
place under thatched roof learning areas surrounded by tropical gardens.
In addition to the excellent Spanish programs, beautiful setting and professional staff, Soléxico
offers a Spanish language lab to assist with the students' communication skills. There is an
on-campus library stocked with Spanish books on grammar, the Mayan culture, religion and travel in
Mexico, and many other publications. The open air and air
conditioned conference rooms are ideal for guitar and salsa classes, and their weekly
gatherings. Soléxico also has a cafeteria, volleyball court and garden areas for
students to relax during breaks or after a day of classes.
At Soléxico they focus on the communication and
conversation ability of the students with emphasis on writing, comprehension,
pronunciation, grammar and reading Spanish.
Soléxico
provides students of all levels with intensive, interactive programs designed to meet the
different students needs. Upon arrival, students are given placement exams that are
evaluated by the academic director to determine their current Spanish levels.
Solexico now offers 2 additional destinations for Spanish
Language courses in Mexico:
Solexico Oaxaca and
Solexico Puerto Vallarta. Students
can combine courses at any of all three locations.
