"Good learning environment, good teachers, great location!"

Nicholas Goodwin, student from France

The whole experience was great, I will definitely repeat in following years. The only thing I would change would be to cover more material during the week, as I’m only able to join for a week but I understand that wouldn’t work with the way the classes operate with longer term attendees.

Ask a question

"1. The mother would like them both to take private lessons. Is there a minimum of lessons they must take? They would prefer 4 instead of 5 since the children are in school all day. Could the lessons be in the afternoon/evening? 2. The mother would also like them to take these lessons at home instead of in the Don Quijote Alicante center. Is this at all possible? If so, how much more would it cost per lesson to have at home lessons?"

Lana -, student from Spain
Carmen López, Don Quijote school representative

1. The minimum is 1 week. They lessons can be in the afternoon, yes.
2. No, they have to attend the lessons in the school.
