LOCATION.  The Institute is located in historic Valenciana, directly behind the Valenciana Mine, and its classrooms and grounds afford spectacular vistas of the city below. We also use some classrooms downtown for special classes.

CLASSROOMS.  Our classrooms are spacious, light, and airy. All are comfortably furnished, and most have balconies or adjacent terraces overlooking the city.

OTHER SERVICES.  Our large office/library offers a growing collection of Spanish and English language reading material.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS.  The school's grounds are an outdoor maze of landscaped gardens with mature trees and flowering plants. Potted plants, fountains, and conversation nooks dot the school's outdoor terraces, which may be used for individual or group study—or quiet conversation.

TRANSPORTATION. 

We provide daily transportation to and from the Institute for our students. The Institute's free shuttle runs from the center of Guanajuato to Valenciana and back at 8:30am, 12:30pm and 2:30pm. In addition, an inexpensive local bus service is available (buses run every half-hour from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.), and a taxi service is also available. If you feel the need to exercise, there is a spectacular walking trail that begins at the Institute and snakes its way down the adjacent hillside, exiting onto a pavement near the Hotel Parador San Javier. The walk down takes a leisurely 20 minutes; count on more time for the walk up!

We offer an airport pick-up and drop-off service as well. A one-way service from Bajio airport to Guanajuato or vice-versa is US$37 (max. two people). If three or more people require transport then the cost is US$20 per person one-way.

In short, we want the time you spend at the Institute to be relaxing and productive, and we believe we have built an unmatched facility for our students, faculty, and staff.
