The Spanish Institute of Puebla is a well-established Spanish language school with 30 years of experience. Students can live immersed in the Spanish language and culture for up to 16 hours per day. The school focuses on developing students' abilities in four communication areas: listening, speaking, reading and writing, with an emphasis on conversation skills. The standard program has eight proficiency levels from beginner to near-native.

3. Our goal is to help you communicate in
Spanish. There are four areas of
communication: listening, speaking, reading,
and writing. In our program we consider all
four areas. Because we have an emphasis
in Spanish conversation; even our group
program includes two hours of individual
conversation to get your conversation skills
up as quick as possible.
Our standard program has eight levels:
from Beginner to close to Native Speaker.
You can specify which level you would like
to enter or you can take our placement
exam (The result of this exam is
approximate) which will determine which
level to start at.

4. Our home stay program is a very important
part of your overall language experience.
You will stay with a host family, unless you
request differently in which case we will
work with you to find adequate hotel
accommodations. Our host families are
carefully screened to have a very helpful
attitude towards students. We have also
selected homes that offer a level of comfort
not too far from what you are used to finding
in your home country.
Our selection process assures that all our
students will have a comfortable and
pleasant stay in Puebla. Although our host
families receive a compensation to provide
you a home, they do enjoy having a foreign
student as a guest.

6. In a broad, high valley about 60 miles
southeast of Mexico City is a city known
by many names over the years: City of
Angels, City of Tiles, Heroic City of
Zaragoza. Today we know it simply as
Puebla.
Established by the Spanish in 1531
on the main route between the port
of Veracruz (the most important port
in Mexico) and Mexico City, Puebla
was the principal city of Colonial
Mexico. Puebla's appearance is the
most European of all the Colonial
cities, because it was planned from
the ground up by a Spanish city
designer rather than being built
within an existing Indian community.
