Why Choose Simon Bolivar School?

We could tell you many reasons why you should choose Simon Bolivar Spanish School... but the best reference would be the feedback from our own students!

There are many things that you should consider before choosing a Spanish school, especially when you can find many different opportunities, such as in Ecuador!

It is worth mentioning that Ecuador is considered a fundamental destination to learn the Spanish language.

Ecuador is one of the few places in the world where the pronunciation of the Spanish language is spoken the best and with the highest level of correct grammar. Spanish lessons in Ecuador are also very cheap compared to other countries.

Ecuador is also considered a gateway to other countries and regions that make it quite easy for those who are interested in traveling to nearby locations. Within Ecuador, Quito is the gateway to the other four dynamic areas such as the Pacific Coast, Amazon, Andes and Galapagos Islands and it is very easy to travel to each of these regions.
