Our Internship program is designed to offer real world work experience. Our interns are involved in all the daily operations of the school and business. Interns get hands on experience working with other Teachers, building lesson plans, managing a classroom, and working in International Business Operations.
Many of our students are studying English to better their future, by becoming qualified to take higher paying jobs. Our Interns get the opportunity to help students prepare for a better life! We attract the best Interns and trust them to do a great job! This Internship is not a "make copies and bring coffee" internship. You make your own plans and implement them into your work, learning as you go!
Many consider living in a foreign culture to be one of the best ways to expand your horizons. Living in Mexico will give you a greater appreciation for other cultures and you can show your employers that you are a well rounded person.
There is no better way to learn a foreign language than by immersion. All our Interns can participate in optional Spanish Immersion classes during their time in Mexico. Perfect your Spanish with us!
One of our favorite things to do with our interns is introduce them to the vibrant Mexican culture. We take Interns on excurison to see impressive ancient ruins, cultural fesivals, dancing, nightlife, and the beautiful natural wonders of Mexico and much much more.
We want all of our Interns to have a great time while in our program. WE have diesigned out program to give great professional experience but also allowed for a lot of free and flexible time for our Interns to explore Mexico and visit many of the one of a kind places. We also take Interns on many excursions to see the sites.

Interns have the opportunity to participate in many excursions (historical and cultural). We take students all around the cities where they are located and do fun activities (depending on location activities could include: hiking, swimming, visiting Mayan and Aztec ruins, museums, beaches, snorkeling, food tours, exploring the cities, boating, dancing, cultural activities, etc.). Interns also have free reign to explore and have fun during their free time as well, our staff can point out many fun activities to do in and around the cities. Also, many students are interested in learning Spanish while in Mexico, our Instructors teach Spanish classes to all interested Interns, including in class and out of class Spanish immersion activities.

Both Zacatecas and Puerto Vallarta have a history of being very safe cities.
