“I have led this summer program and worked with the Institute of San Joaquín de Flores for the past 10 years. I’m impressed with the incredible organization and service of the program. The resident director has always gone extra mile to help my students. I know they are in excellent hands. I’m extremely happy with the housing and the classes. I have found the program to be thorough and rigorous as an intensive immersion language program. I could not recommend any institue more highly.”
