The atmosphere between students and teachers is great. The school is like a big family. There are always excursions and activities to help students get to know the area and also the new students of course.
The teachers are very easy-going and regularly undergo training. Thge teacers are trained to teach only in Spanish, although some of them do speak English. Even though the teaching is in Sanish the meaning is always clear and learning is accelerated in this way.
