Study in Quito

Enroll in Spanish studies in Quito and discover a charming city tucked into a lush green valley at the edge of both the jungle and the towering Andes Mountain range. The Ecuadorian capital matches unparalleled natural beauty with welcoming locals who are said to speak Spanish in its most easily understood form. At EF Quito you can prepare for an officially recognized fluency exam such as the DELE. You can also go beyond Spanish studies to make a difference in the local community by volunteering with The Red Cross or in a local nursery.

EF’s study programs in Quito are held in the warm, friendly atmosphere of our language center. Our facilities are shared with Ecuadorian students studying English, so you’ll have the unique opportunity to mingle with locals before stepping beyond the walls of EF. Our student lounge, cafeteria and outdoor garden are the perfect place to strike up a conversation.

A Bustling Latin American City

Located a short drive from the earth’s equator, Quito’s colonial old town is so architecturally significant that UNESCO named it a World Heritage Site. The winding cobbled streets and Spanish colonial squares are home to fabulous baroque churches and traditional markets where you’ll have the chance to interact with Ecuador’s indigenous population. The Spanish influence doesn’t end with architecture, and Quito’s annual bullfighting festival draws matadors from around the Spanish-speaking world.

Study in Quito and you’ll also want to head beyond the city limits to experience Ecuador’s amazing environment. Explore the region’s volcanic landscape on trips to the snow-topped Cotopaxi volcano and while soaking in the thermal baths of Papallacta. Go on a guided tour deep into the thick of the Amazon jungle and make a trek to the Galapagos Islands where the abundance of animal species is simply staggering. If you’re looking for a South American adventure, then you’ve come to the right place.
