Castila - Intl School Spanish

Una experiencia inolvidable. Qué bonita la ciudad y qué bonita la gente! Si quieres aumentar tus habilidades de hablar, leer y escribir español, este es la escuela para usted. No hay ninguna manera de aprender que puede ser mejor que vivir la vida de los nativos hablantes. Granada, en el corazón de Andalucía, tiene una cultura única. Sin duda va a cambiar tu perspectiva del mundo. Elige CastiLa y vas a ver la grandísima por ti mismo. ¡Saludos desde Los Estados Unidos! ️

If you’re looking for an opportunity to study abroad this is it. Granada has to be one of the most interesting and historic places located within a country that is rich with culture. This was my first time leaving the country and I was so lucky to be in a place that pushed me to learn Spanish and learn how to get along in a different country. The teachers were passionate and understanding. All levels of Spanish speakers can learn to excel here. Take the leap and I promise you won’t regret it!

I started at Castila under the 100 year-old fig tree in "Garden School" and worked my way up to "Mirador" school. The location is magical and the programs are highly effective. I cannot recommend it more highly. Thank you! Antonios and all of the excellent teachers. Muchisimas gracias!

I took ten weeks of classes at CastiLa this winter, starting from a beginner. I greatly enjoyed the excellent instruction from all the teachers. Daily classes were always fun and high energy.
Plus, the location of the school can’t be beat. I loved exploring the Albaicin and central Granada in the afternoons after class. There are endless beautiful streets to explore throughout town.
Overall, my experience with Castila was outstanding and well-rounded: After 2.5 months of study, not only do I have a solid base of Spanish, but also a much better grasp of Spain’s rich history and culture.

I've studied in CastiLa for seven weeks. The teaching material is very good and the teachers also, they put you through an immersive experience and they are always helpful.
Plus the school organizes a lot of after class activities and excursions that are a lot o fun and help you to learn about the local culture.
You can think their prices are a bit high but you have to remember that there was a just (and still) a pandemic.

I had booked a long course of study, later left. Natalia was super nice, helping me in everything I needed during the departure. Rafael, on the other hand, is an unreliable person, on whom you can not count. I arrived in Granada on a Sunday and no one welcomed me, as in previous experiences abroad. Plus, they offered me an asphyxiating room in an abandoned residence. They did not even return the money from the course deposit once I decided to go to another schoo

Castila, like the Albayzin, where it is located, is a special place. I have visited Granada in 3 summers and taken content courses in Spanish on Culture and Business Spanish, as well as private language classes at Castila. I recently came back after studying for a month at Castila in July 2022. What makes this language and culture school so different is that it is a family business and all the teachers know all the students. The language courses are taught by immersion with rotation of instructors each day so they get to know the students and the students know them. You experience a variety of activities and different teaching styles, but the teachers work as a team behind the scenes to develop the best lessons for their classes and make sure they are all in sync with their part for the day.

The staff also leads different (optional) cultural activities 5 days a week in which only Spanish is spoken, which enrich one's cultural knowledge about the city and is another opportunity to practice Spanish. These can be hiking, beach trips, the Alhambra, visits to important sites in the Albayzin, the Parque de Ciencias and more!

If you want a personalized experience, which feeds your mind and soul, in which you know your teachers, and not a "one size fits all" type of program, Castila is where you want to be.

Their website had weak information or insufficient English explanation so I contact them.

Their contact team had no idea how to communicate what their teaching program is or even explain it.

Better look for ones with self explanatory websites

Best of luck

Best Spanish school in Granada. Location is fantastic and the quality of teaching is second to none. Feel completely part of the family. Highly recommended.

The school is very beautiful, in a quiet and charming historical district. The teachers are very good and friendly. Definitely worth it!

This lovely school is without a doubt the best place to learn Spanish. It does not matter if you have no knowledge of the Spanish language or if you are more advanced. I started from the very beginning and got to a very decent level in a short period of time. I can definitely recommend these guys!

This school is the perfect place to learn Spanish language and culture. It offers complete immersion with the most wonderful teachers. They love what they do and that is what makes the biggest diference. You become their family and all your fears of speaking a foreign language disappear. I learned very quickly and they gave me all the right tools to help continue learning when I left.
