Family Homestay Accommodation
The importance of where you live
From experience, we have learned that the quality of your accommodation here is as important as that of your medical Spanish program or clinical rotation.
Accommodation is often overlooked when considering a program abroad. However, its importance is evident once you arrive at your destination. Therefore, we put a lot of effort into ensuring that our program participants are comfortable and happy with their home here.
Fully immerse yourself in Spanish to get the most from your experience in Peru
Without a doubt, learning a language abroad with an immersion program is a lot more useful than taking classes in your home country.
Our language programs and time spent in a clinical environment each day are essential parts of developing Spanish skills here. However, another vital part of this language learning process is to live Spanish by staying in family accommodation.
Our Families
We appreciate that coming to South America and living with a family can be a daunting prospect, especially if you have limited Spanish. For this reason, we take a lot of care to only work with the right families, who understand this and provide quality accommodation.
We have worked with a select group of families for several years. The families are all professional households located in middle-class areas of the city, with comfortable homes. Typically adult family members include engineers, doctors, and college faculty.
Family accommodation households are warm and welcoming and understand that different students have different needs. Perhaps you have a vegetarian diet or just the need for patient communication in Spanish. In each household, at least one family member has at least a basic level of English.
You will have your own room and the homes all have WiFi and cable TV, etc.
What about the food?
Our families provide breakfast and lunch each day (Sundays, breakfast only). Lunch is the big meal of the day here, and it will be a variety of local dishes. The meals are something students continuously tell us they love.
The families are flexible and are accustomed to meeting any dietary need you may have.
You will have a key to your house and are free to come and go as you please.
Are there other students?
In each household, there is generally between one and four program participants. You can choose to be in a homestay alone or with other participants.
All the families are located within a 10-minute walk of our center.
Please take a look at our testimonials where many past participants have written of their homestay experience as well as other aspects of the programs.
When to arrive?
Programs begin on a Monday. However, our families welcome students to stay with them from the Saturday morning before programs begin
