Amauta Spanish School Cuenca

Amauta Spanish School is in the historic centre of Cuenca, on Hermano Miguel between Sucre and Presidente Córdova. It is part of a foundation working in education and research on social and environmental issues in Ecuador. This gives the school a particular focus for students interested in Latin American studies alongside Spanish.

Courses

Amauta's academic programmes extend beyond language to encompass Latin American studies, with particular emphasis on anthropology, biology, history, colonial and contemporary art, and environmental issues. This interdisciplinary focus makes the school a natural partner for university study-abroad groups seeking content instruction alongside Spanish language development. Spanish instruction is offered at all levels of proficiency.

Location

The school is situated in the central historic district of Cuenca, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cuenca's year-round spring-like temperatures (10°C to 24°C / 50°F to 75°F) are cited by the school as an asset for outdoor activities. The 26-year institutional history and detailed facilities description support inclusion.

The course themes give learners something specific to discuss beyond everyday transactions. An interest in history, environmental issues or art can therefore shape the experience of studying Spanish at Amauta. The school’s Cuenca base places learners within the city whose architecture and history provide a local context for some of those studies.
