Methodology

Personalized teaching:

Each course is limited to twelve students. This allows the teacher to meet the specific learning requirements of each and everyone of their students.

International English:

The institute does not limit itself to teaching the English language used specifically in any one country. Rather, we expose the student to a wide variety of accents and expressions that are characteristic of all the English speaking countries.

Reading texts in English:

Unlike other English teaching institutions, at Stael Ruffinelli de Ortiz–English we work not only with text books, but also stimulate the student to read stories and novels in English, according to their age and language level. This way, once they achieve an advanced level, they may enjoy a wide variety of original English texts, such as newspaper articles, and literary works of great authors.

Theater and Music as learning methods:

Stael Ruffinelli de Ortiz–Music & Arts is a conservatory that fosters the artistic development of the individual, helping them reach their potential, with music and theater classes that may be taken in both English and Spanish. The students also have the opportunity of being apart of the annual musical production, examples of previous musicals are  West Side Story, and Fiddler on the Roof (English musicals).

The library, the computer lab, the numerous speeches and conferences with international experts allow students and teachers access to a world of updated knowledge.
