ORIENTATION DAY

The first Monday at the Academia Latinoamericana is an orientation day: every student will take an oral and written placement test. This has no other purpose than to place the student in the right group at the right level. Students are also evaluated every week. After the placement test all new students go on a city tour of Quito/ Cusco/ Sucre to get to know the city and learn how to get around and use the public transport system. In the afternoon there's an orientation session in which the student learns about all rules at the Academia, as well as about important issues such as security, do's and don'ts in Ecuador/ Peru/ Bolivia, the host family etc. Regular classes will start on Tuesday of the first week.
