Great program to stretch your wings with
July 29, 2024by: Luna NguyenProgram: Art Classes in Oaxaca & Mexican CultureMy host mom was lovely. I did the painting course, and the teacher was super nice. My director was super friendly and always helpful! I am now comfortable navigating this city as well as taking public transportation. This is a great program to stretch your wings with.
Highly recommend
July 29, 2024by: Charles-Anthony MitchellProgram: Art Classes in Oaxaca & Mexican CultureThe greatest benefit was interacting on an almost fulltime basis in Spanish. I really enjoyed the amazing food and learning how to convert money. The best parts were learning the lay of the land in Oaxaca and studying with people from all over the world. Highly recommended!
Do it!
December 21, 2023by: Katie Weiss Program: Art Classes in Oaxaca & Mexican CultureMy daughter did the Arcos Oaxaca program. It helped her to grow in the areas of independence, language skills, fearlessness, love of cultures, and respect. DO IT! It was amazing. SHE LOVED IT. So much so that I already signed her up for next summer with Arcos in Spain!
