Expanish's Mission Statement: Expanish is one of the most innovative Spanish immersion programs in Latin America: students do not just take classes, they actually live and breathe the South American culture. Our base in metropolitan Buenos Aires and our strong contacts all over South America provide a unique experience for visiting students and our unconventional approach to studying abroad combines Spanish language and university-accredited courses with exceptional cultural experiences and local accommodation resulting in a well-rounded educational program tailored to each student's strengths. Expanish offers an extracurricular component to every course of study consisting of skill workshops from photography to rock-climbing, local homestays and shared student apartments, weekend excursions, and daily activities with local inhabitants that take the experience of learning Spanish and studying abroad into a new dimension.
