We know that an immersion experience not only involves classes and language learning but also cultural immersion plays an important role in the learning process. That is why we arrange accommodation with local families who have been selected by our experienced staff with the help of a psychologist. The families that host our students go through a very thorough selection process and receive constant training to keep them educated on areas where students may need help, such as with cultural shock issues and problem-solving techniques.
They will provide the care and help necessary to make your learning experience complete and are committed to treating their guests as part of their family. Students staying with local families will learn about local Chilean customs, history, politics and the arts just by interacting with their new families. Just like your family, each of our homestay families has an interesting history that goes hand in hand with the history of our country.
Besides their care, love, help with Spanish and support at all times, our families offer:
Private rooms for singles or couples
Bathroom shared with a maximum of two people
Two meals per day: Breakfast and dinner (healthy & nutritious local food) Note: we also cater to special dietary requirements such as vegetarians or gluten-free.
Laundry
Cable TV (to keep you connected to the rest of the world)
Internet access and/or WiFi
Non-smoking environments
Telephone access to receive calls from your relatives and friends
Pet-free families available upon request.

Study Abroad
Chile: My first time to Chile was with a Faculty Led program. We hiked the Andes Mountains and visited the Mapuche Indians. The community was so sweet and so wonderful. That was a really memorable trip!
Escuela Fronteras: We sent over 20 students for a three week winter session. They all had a phenomenal time & did very well academically.
Memorable Quote: Chile is a place that I would love to go back to.

Sven Bornemann Germany I'll never forget the time I had at "Escuela Fronteras" !!! The extreme friendly, warming, funny, but still profesionally working team made me feel like a family member. I'm missing the classes, which were more like conversations with a good friend including the fact that I still were improving my spanish in a very fast way, the hazy breaks with everybody, the city tours, and of course all the Barbeques we had. I hope seeing you guys again, Cuidanse !!!
