Instituto Cultural Oaxaca Reviews

Some of our loved students say:

During my time here I met some amazing people and was able to excel in my Spanish. The teachers and administrators are incredibly helpful and kind. My trip to Oaxaca changed my life forever! Highly recommend attending!

Hannah Christen, 2018

I loved this school, the teachers and the people I met. They have an intercambio program that pairs you with someone local who wants to practice English and helps you practice your Spanish, which helped me become integrated into the city and not feel as much like a tourist. The weekend trips that were offered, especially to learn more about the Day of the Dead celebrations, were outstanding. There were so many opportunities to learn outside of the classroom as well as inside.

I’d go back to this place if given the chance. Great teachers and great faculty too. It’s a language and culture school in one of the more culture rich areas on the globe so yeah very cool.
