The school emphasizes the importance of providing a full range of social and cultural activities that bring students into contact with everything Gran Canaria has to offer: its culture, art, history, food and ­most importantly – its people. A high priority is also placed on making language instruction a fun and easy experience guided by well-qualified teachers, all of whom have ample experience teaching Spanish as a second language.

One distinctive and appetizing feature of this school is the presence of an in-house cook who prepares quality local, national and international dishes on a daily basis for resident students (breakfast and lunch on school days, dinners on weekends and holidays). This service is a good example of the extra effort made by the school to create a comfortable and positive atmosphere while providing students with quality instruction based on efficient didactic methods.

Gran Canaria School of Languages has specialized in the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language since 1964, and belongs to numerous important cultural, professional and touristic associations at local and national levels. The school has been recognized for its excellence – both in Spain and internationally – by official organizations and government institutions, and has been distinguished with awards honoring its highly respected educational value and the quality of accommodation it provides to students.

Among its most recent accomplishments was its CEELE certification in 2007, a recognition imparted by the University of Alacalá to Spanish schools following a thorough evaluation of installations, equipment, curriculum, teaching qualifications, and course offerings. Students who choose a CEELE-certified school can be sure of receiving Spanish language instruction of the highest quality.
