We offer our students the choice of living with an Ecuadorian family or in a hostel/hotel while studying with ISE.
Host Families:
Many students choose to live with local families; it's a good way to immerse yourself into the culture and have a friendly environment to practice the Spanish learnt during the day. All of our host families are located in safe and quiet neighborhoods close to our school (within 15 minutes walking distance).
Each student has a private bedroom, receives three high quality Ecuadorian meals per day (there is no need to worry about hygiene, all food and drinks are prepared to the highest standard) and will have keys to come and go from the house as he/she pleases. Most of the families we work with have been hosting our students for many years. Some families host more than one student at a time.
Hotel & Hostel:
If you prefer to stay in a hotel or hostel, we are happy to offer suggestions or help you make reservations. All three of our recommended locations present a variety of accommodation, variable prices, and are within easy reach of the school.
The hostel Casapaxi comes highly recommended and offers a discount for our students. For the "Travelling Classroom" option students' stay in a combination of prearranged hostels and hotels, for more information on these please write to us at superior[at]ecnet.ec.

Die Schule Instituto Superior de Español ist ein sehr netter, familaerer Ort. Ich besuchte die Schule zwei Wochen und hatte zu Beginn keine Spanischkenntnisse, jedoch habe ich in dieser kurzen Zeit sehr viel gelernt. Die Lehrer arbeiten mit sehr viel Freude, sind alle sehr aufmerksam und gehen auf die individuellen Vorkenntnis der Schueler ein. Ganz besonders sind aber auch die auserschulischen Aktivitaeten, wie das gemeinsame Kochen, der Besuch des Marktes oder der Altstadt bei Nacht, sowie die Hilfe bei der Planung von Reisen, innerhalb und auserhalb von Quito.
Muchas gracias,
Stephanie
