The school provides assistance in locating students with Chilean host families in Iquique. We have selected families which can provide the student with a homely and friendly atmosphere and any assistance the student may need. The director personally knows them, and the majority of them are professionals by trade. We usually assign one student per family. However, if the student chooses to, the school will find accomodations elsewhere, either at an apartment or a hotel.

Not only do students live and take their meals with their host families, but they also continue to learn the language outside of the Academy. Over the years we have discovered that the combination of classes at the Academy with the experience of living with a host family has meant that students acquire the language more rapidly. The school and host families are very conscious of the needs for students to talk with Chileans other than the ones at the school, and every effort has been made to allow the students integrate more easily into the local community. This provides students with a stress free environment in which to learn.
