What does the price include?
The $2,500 USD covers classes, housing, lunch for the full two months, and several printed resources, payable as a lump sum or in 2 to 3 monthly payments. Flights, personal expenses, and transportation expenses are separate.
Do I need a visa?
It depends on your nationality. Most students enter Mexico as visitors. We encourage students to research regulations specific to their nationality.
What language is it in?
Classes run in English and Spanish. Oftentimes the language defaults to the common denominator between the students of the specific cohort. Translation is provided for classes if needed, but some general Spanish and English comprehension and vocabulary is highly recommended.
