Who are we ?
Christian Spanish Academy (CSA) is a
professional institution devoted to teaching Spanish as a second language.
Our slogan, "The Five Stars Spanish School", defines us very well. Our
program is One-on-One, that is one teacher for each student, and that
provides a lot of flexibility and enables us to provide you with a tailor-made
education, so that you do not have to adapt to the program, but the
program will adapt to you and your specific needs.
You may be wondering about our name
Christian Spanish Academy. Let us tell you a little bit about our history...
CSA was originally created with the vision to help missionaries with
their specific language needs and skills required to perform their job
effectively. But in designing such a good program, people with a variety
of backgrounds and professions began to come and we diversified. The
primary goal of CSA is to teach Spanish regardless of religious views.
Right now, in addition to our Missionary Program and the General program,
we have programs to meet many different needs. These programs are:
Business, Flight Attendant, Civilization
& Culture, Medical, Ecology, Veterinary, Children, Literature, University
Programs and a Busy People Program (where we send the school to you).
Our Teachers
We understand the importance of the teacher in the learning process.
That is why they are trained extensively - not only in teaching Spanish
as a second language, but also about each of our different programs
and areas offered in the school. Although our method does not require
our teachers to speak another language, many of them have had classes
in basic English and another are fluent in English.
All our teachers are native Spanish
speakers, residing in Antigua and surrounding towns. Most of our teachers
have been working at CSA for several years, so they have developed their
own teaching techniques. CSA encourages students to change teachers
from time to time for a more rewarding experience.
Our building
You will notice CSA is different from the very moment you walk
in. You will see that nothing in our program is improvised, even our
building was designed to help you study! It is an elegant and functional
building, with open spaces looking into a central patio and interior
garden. There are no closed doors or windows inside CSA (forget the
boring and dark classrooms). This reflects the philosophy of our work:
open to changes and evolution. Both CSA staff and students are happy
to have a building so full of light!
