AMAUTA FAMILY PROGRAM
More and more families, with children of different ages, are coming to
Argentina to participate in our Spanish Programs. Especially combinations of Spanish Programs with excursions, cultural programs and some volunteering, are very popular, also due to our special discount for families.
SPANISH FOR FAMILIES: SPANISH FOR KIDS & SPANISH FOR TEENS
Do you want to see the best of
Argentina, while having a true cultural experience while developing your knowledge of the
Spanish Language and that of your children? Our Spanish school organizes a Spanish for Family program that is designed so that everyone in the family has a fantastic time on holiday in Argentina, in "the city of the cities", Buenos Aires, full of interesting activities and places to visit for all ages! As every family is different, this program is custom designed.
A sample program might see the whole family going on outings, or visiting musea and other interesting sites in the morning. Some example include the famous Kids Museum in El Albasto (Museo de los Ninos), or the "Museo de los Titeres" in San Telmo, the zoo in Palermo, one of the many, many green parques in Buenos Aires or the famous theatre the Opera, suitable for all ages. And, what about a TANGO DANCING WORKSHOP for the whole (or part of the) family??
In the afternoon, mom and dad would have
Spanish classes at their level while the children will have their own Spanish teacher and a specially designed kid’s class. This class is bright, interesting and colorful and children study from a range of fun materials including videos, music and children's books in Spanish. There are also several activities out of the classroom included in this program, e.g. visiting a nearby local market, or a handcraft shop. This class is totally adapted to the age range of your children and is suitable for children 6 through to 17, though probably not in the same class. If you have children under 5, they can be cared for during the afternoons by a professional nanny; if you want to stay for a longer period of time in
Buenos Aires we can also help you to register your kids on a local or international school in Buenos Aires.
We also offer the option to include including some cultural workshops in your program. Our school organizes not only tango dance classes but also painting, theatre, music and others. Most families also include volunteer work for all or some family members: you can help and assist in an orphanage, where the kids are happy with your visit and care.
A special range of kid-friendly excursions can also be planned for the weekends, based on more traditional tourism options, but specially catering for the age and level of your children. Why not arrange for the whole family to venture out to Rosedal Lake, or Tigre, or the Zoo in Palermo, or to one of the famous estancias around the village of San Antonio de Areco? A visit to Mataderos on Sunday is also a great way to learn more about life in rural
Argentina and the local gauchos. Creative craft workshops can also be organized where children can play traditional Argentine instruments, learn how to
dance Tango or have a blast working with leather crafts. Whatever your family enjoys doing, there is plenty to choose from making this a wonderful and life enriching experience for all.
Buenos Aires offers endless options to "breath" culture: the city is full of festivals, theatre, dance, movie or cinema. Buenos Aires is an interesting cultural experience for the whole family.
If you have some time left after your
Spanish program, the rest of Argentina provides for impressive natural scenery and the kids will love some skiing, rafting, trekking, or visit the waterfalls of Iguazu, or the pinguins in Península de Valdés, just to mention a few. The options in Buenos Aires and Argentina are endless!
Participating in our
SPANISH FOR FAMILIES AND SPANISH FOR KIDS program will be an absolutely unique experience, one the kids will never forget.

SPANISH FOR FAMILIES ACCOMODATION OPTION
If you wish to maximize your holiday experience we highly recommend staying with an Argentine family. If possible, we will try to place your family in a local family with children of a similar age, providing play opportunities for your children. This is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to practice their Spanish and to learn about another culture.
For those who prefer more independence we offer the alternative of living in the well known and comfortable flats in Palermo, San Telmo, Belgrano or Recoleta. Alternatively, accommodation can also be organized for you in a good standard hotel close to AMAUTA Spanish School in Belgrano or Palermo.
Did you know that research shows that children who are exposed to foreign languages at an early age benefit greatly in their language and reading development? Do not miss the opportunity to make this a family experience that you will never forget.

SPANISH FOR KIDS (7-12)
Why not let you kids get an early start on a
foreign language? Learning while in a country where you can practice the language is the best way to learn, and it’s no different for your children. This is a specially designed kid’s class, with plenty of fun activities to break up the learning. Songs, coloring in, painting, dance, music and videos are designed to entertain and educate. Kids read using Spanish Children’s books and you will be surprised at the ability of your children to pick up this language quickly.
SPANISH FOR TEENS (13-17)
The teenage years are an exciting, confusing and challenging time for young people. No longer little kids, they aren’t adults and need specialized classes which recognize that they bore quickly with structured classes and yet they don’t to be treated like little children!
There are plenty of challenging activities for the teen in these classes, as well as a number of excursions where they have opportunities to practice Spanish. If possible, they will also have the opportunity to meet young Argentinian people of a similar age.
These courses have fixed starting dates, (see
pricelist). These dates coincide with the European and US summer school vacations. Parents have the option to take Spanish class at a corresponding time to their children. These courses are available for all levels of Spanish.
- Maximum number of students: 6
- Minimum one week.
