Accommodation
ECELA offers several accommodation options to cater for all of your needs. You may choose to stay with a host family or with local students, so you can practice and improve your language skills outside the classroom while experiencing local life.
Host Families
Due to their experience, the host families chosen by ECELA know what it means to be a real host.
They have been accommodating many students of different nationalities and ages with different professional careers.
With a host family, you will have the opportunity to see what true South American life is all about.
All the host families have been carefully selected and are regularly visited by a school officer to ensure you are comfortable and happy with your family stay.

It is important that you feel responsible to speak only Spanish with other international students and avoid using English!
