Escuela Elcano

The school was founded in 2010 and is located in the heart of Alicante's historic Old Town. It is recognised as an Instituto Cervantes Accredited Centre, and also holds accreditations from FECEI, ACEICOVA, SICTED, and ACADE. Group classes are offered exclusively in person at the Alicante campus.

Courses

Intensive group courses are available at 15, 20, or 25 weekly hours for levels A1-C2, with class schedules in morning blocks (9:30-13:30) and afternoon blocks (14:00-18:00). Groups are capped at 12 students. Semi-intensive, private, and DELE preparation programmes are offered, plus course-and-accommodation packages and a Junior programme. Afternoon and evening class slots are unique among Alicante Instituto Cervantes schools. Online distance programmes are separately available.

Location

The Calle Bazán address is within Alicante's Old Town, close to the city's historic and cultural landmarks. The school occupies an entresuelo (mezzanine) floor unit, accessed from street level in the compact urban core that is within walking distance of the marina and beach.

For a student staying locally, the distinction between an intensive weekday schedule and an afternoon or evening course can matter as much as the level. Private classes offer a further way to concentrate on a particular language need. DELE preparation gives students who are working towards a qualification a separate course objective.
