The Immersion Language Study consists of learning a foreign language the same way we learned English (or whatever our native language is): by living it. In a typical language immersion school, the student doesn't study only in the formal sense — he or she lives the language. Classes are taught entirely in Spanish, speaking in another language at any time is discouraged, and the student lives in Spanish-speaking environment. That means students hear the language as it is used in real life.
So if you are considering volunteering abroad and are looking for a program that focuses on community service and volunteer work while incorporating international travel, outdoor education, language and cultural immersion, then join our team this fall, winter, spring or summer and help make a difference during one of our community service projects for all ages.
If you are ready for something new and different, ready to give something back to the international community while growing tremendously as an individual, then Rancho Wendy will provide an experience of a lifetime.
