International House Riviera Maya
IH Riviera Maya was opened in 2004, as a joint project between IH Barcelona and IH Mexico City. The school has become an important centre for language teaching, teacher training, study tours and related activities in Mexico.
There are four main areas of activity in the school:
- Teaching Spanish to students from all over the world
- Teaching other languages (mainly English) to the local population
- Training teachers of Spanish and English
- Sending students from Mexico to study languages abroad
IH Riviera Maya has a number of local people studying English in the school, so there is plenty of opportunity for our students of Spanish to meet native Spanish speakers, make friends and improve their fluency outside the classroom, in the bar, at social events, etc.
We also have an out-going programme, sending students to study language courses in different countries. This helps us to see things from the learner’s point of view. In other words, we know from our own experience what sort of issues tend to concern students most, and this helps us to ensure that the students who come to study Spanish with us are given the necessary help, care and attention.
También enviamos estudiantes para estudiar cursos de idiomas en otros países. Esto nos ayuda a ver las cosas desde el punto de vista del alumno: sabemos qué cuestiones causan mayor preocupación a los estudiantes, y esto nos ayuda a asegurarnos que los estudiantes que vienen a aprender español con nosotros reciben la ayuda, cuidados y atención necesarios.
IH Riviera Maya es también un centro oficial de exámenes de Cambridge English.
School
The school is located in the heart of Playa del Carmen, two blocks from the beach and in an area full of bars, restaurants and shops. The main part of the school consists of the reception, a study room and the offices. The colonial-style building includes a beautiful vault, a terrace, and a French restaurant on the ground floor.
The city
Playa del Carmen is a unique place that offers visitors all the best of the Mexican Caribbean, fine white sand beaches, an indescribable turquoise blue sea, and a wide selection of restaurants and accommodation options. Playa del Carmen has managed to maintain a calm atmosphere that has nothing to do with large-scale tourism.
