Welcome to Isla Margarita, Venezuela!
Margarita is one of the most beautiful Caribbean Islands with more than 82 beaches, each of them unique. The island offers a highly developed infrastructure with plenty of hotels, bars and nightlife.
The Caracas airport is not really in Caracas, it is in another town called Maiquetía and is a 30 minute drive from the capital. The national airport is right beside it (5 minute walk) and more than 20 flights per day leave for Porlamar from there. The flight time to the island is 30 minutes. The school can book the flight from Caracas to Porlamar for you. If you need to stay overnight in Caracas because your flight arrives after 6 pm, the school will book you a hotel room close to the airport and will organize your transportation. We recommend that you book with hotel Catimar as they also provide a transport service to and from the airport: http://www.hotelcatimar.com/ Just ask us for this service. At Porlamar Airport you can take advantage of our pick-up service at a cost of US$ 20 one way.
The School
Our school offers the best opportunity to improve your Spanish language skills while enjoying the beautiful atmosphere, landscape and beaches of a Caribbean Island.
It is located in a one-storey Mediterranean house just a 30 minute walk from the beach. This is a safe residential area and is located between Porlamar, the largest and most important city on the island, and Pampatar, a little old fishing village by the sea. The area is called Playa El Angel, and all of our host families live within walking distance. It has a front and back garden and different individual classrooms, all of which are very quiet and comfortable.
Our school has a Bildungsurlaub accreditation and is an examination centre for the DIE (Diploma Internacional de Español). This diploma is offered in 10 levels and 3 specializations, and you can take the oral exam at our school before finishing your course.
At the end of each level the school will issue you with its own certificate. If you would like an official international certificate, we recommend that you take one of the 10 levels of the Diploma Internacional de Español examination . This oral examination is low-cost if you take it in Venezuela, and the Diploma is issued by the Universidad Pontificia in Salamanca, Spain and Fidescu.
The school organizes afternoon excursions around the island three times per week. These trips are part of the program and are free of charge.
