SOLEXICO
Soléxico Spanish Language and Cultural Center provides students the opportunity to learn Spanish in a short period of time while being immersed in the Mexican culture. Their staff of professional Spanish teachers, combined with effective Spanish teaching methods, helps maximize the student’s learning capabilities. Soléxico's staff of professional Mexican Spanish teachers, with more than 10 years of experience in teaching Spanish as a foreign language, is specially trained to maximize the students´ learning potentials. Their friendly approach to teaching Spanish makes learning a truly enjoyable experience. At Solexico you can learn Spanish in one of the more picturesque locations of the Riviera Maya.

The Solexico Spanish school, located just six blocks from the white sand beaches, is designed specifically for our programs in the typical Caribbean style. This open architecture creates a relaxed and inviting atmosphere that encourages intensive learning. Due to the area’s year-round temperate climate, Spanish classes take place under thatched roof learning areas surrounded by tropical gardens.

In addition to the excellent Spanish programs, beautiful setting and professional staff, Soléxico offers a Spanish language lab to assist with the students' communication skills. There is an on-campus library stocked with Spanish books on grammar, the Mayan culture, religion and travel in Mexico, and many other publications. The open air and air conditioned conference rooms are ideal for guitar and salsa classes, and their weekly gatherings. Soléxico also has a cafeteria, volleyball court and garden areas for students to relax during breaks or after a day of classes.

At Soléxico they focus on the communication and conversation ability of the students with emphasis on writing, comprehension, pronunciation, grammar and reading Spanish. Soléxico provides students of all levels with intensive, interactive programs designed to meet the different students needs. Upon arrival, students are given placement exams that are evaluated by the academic director to determine their current Spanish levels.
