NRCSA: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria - Gran Canaria

The NRCSA school in Las Palmas has specialized in the teaching of Spanish to foreign students since 1964. In all these years many thousands of students have attended the school, with many returning for follow-up studies in later years. The teachers are highly specialized and have a great deal of experience. The school occupies a 2 story building beside Las Canteras Beach of Las Palmas. The school has its own restaurant on the terrace to serve breakfast and meals to students. Established in a downtown Las Palmas, the classrooms are simple, with teachers and students working together around a table to encourage conversation. The atmosphere is informal, and during coffee breaks one is likely to find students of all nationalities trying out their Spanish over cafe con leche and a pastry. The informality carries over to weekly excursions (destination of the students' choosing) which often include a cookout and impromptu lesson in Canarian folk songs accompanied by the native temple.
