12 REASONS OLSA INTERNATIONAL IS THE TOP-RATED SPANISH ACADEMY IN COLOMBIA
- EXPERIENCE: The OLSA General Manager has been working in education both in the USA and internationally since 1997 and was nominated as the best private school teacher in the entire state of Arizona, US, two years in a row – 2012 & 2013! Other Spanish academies have limited experience, teaching Spanish only because they are native Spanish speakers.
- CURRICULUM – OLSA’s curriculum is conversation-based, not worksheet-based. The vast majority of other Spanish academies in Medellín use a curriculum supported by methodologies that are limited to language theory. OLSA International focuses on speaking Spanish (based on practice) from the first class. Students learn to listen to Spanish, form words correctly, expand their vocabulary, conjugate in context, and learn about Latin culture while speaking/conversing in Spanish, all in small groups.
- VISAS DE ESTUDIANTE – OLSA is certified through the Secretary of Education of Medellín, Colombia. We are licensed to offer Colombian student visas through our Certified Spanish courses. These are the most effective courses in Medellín for improved Spanish fluency. Other certified academies offer their students a minimum of 10 hours of classes per week. OLSA International offers its students 12 hours of classes per week. Our focus is to have our students to actually speaking Spanish when they finish their courses at OLSA.
- EXCURSIONES – OLSA International has the most extensive cultural immersion package of all the language schools in Medellín. Apart from our conversational Spanish classes and certified Spanish courses (student visa courses), we also have alliances with Latin dance teachers and academies and we offer a catalog of 8+ excursions so that our students can choose from. No other school offers so much!
- EVENTS – OLSA International organizes at least 2 language exchange events every week for our students and the general public! We really want our clients to have the best time possible during their stay in Medellín. Our evening events are designed to connect foreigners and Colombians in a safe environment, to help them develop friendships and create positive memories.
- FREE SURVIVAL SPANISH WORKSHOP – We host a FREE Introduction to Medellin workshop each Wednesday at 4pm. This 90-minute workshop covers some geography, history, things to do, things not to do, foods, excursions, scams, etc. Space is limited to pre-enrollment is suggested!
- SPANISH and ENGLISH: OLSA International teaches certified Spanish, conversational Spanish and conversational English with native speakers from the US and Canada. We have your practice people already here!
- BILINGUAL STAFF – We have bilingual staff – There is always someone present who speaks and understands English.
- PRICE – It is not our intension, however, OLSA is the typically the most economical option among other Spanish schools in Medellin. We are not interested in overcharging foreigners for our services. We charge a fair rate for great service, just take a look at our Google reviews!
- SPANISH IMMERSION PACKAGES – OLSA offers weekly immersion packages with include conversational Spanish classes + private Spanish classes + excursion + meal plan!
- STAY & STUDY PROGRAM – OLSA works with several local hostels to provide a full week of lodging + Spanish classes + excursions + food credit at our on campus restaurant.
- THE OLSA FOUNDATION – OLSA is the only Spanish school in Medellin with its own licensed foundation – The OLSA Foundation, which scholarships local low-income Colombians for our Conversational English classes. The intension is to help increase their job opportunities through English. A portion of every sale at OLSA goes to The OLSA Foundation.
