It all began in 2006. This language school was built from a small Madrid city centre flat to the fastest growing school in Spain, which has also recently opened a sister school in Malaga. In Madrid, the language school is centrally located in the city’s most exclusive Salamanca district and only minutes away from the Retiro Park in Madrid's Golden Mile. In Malaga, you really are getting the best of both worlds by combining beach and city life. The language school's carefully chosen location is ideal; just a 15 minute walk to the beach and a 15 minute bus ride to the city centre.
