Our extensive knowledge and experience allows us to implement the latest techniques in foreign language teaching, yielding the best results!

 

We are the founders of English Lighthouse Institute, which later became the International Bilingual School (one of the most renowned bilingual schools and language centers in Uruguay, our country of origin). This center/school has been operating for 25 years, employing more than 60 teachers, creating school curriculum and foreign language programs for all grades and levels, and giving the gift of a bilingual education to more than 300 Uruguayans and international students every year.

 

Now, after more than 30 years of experience and training in Uruguay and California, we are offering our one of a kind Spanish program in San Diego, North County.
