Sucre School

Our school is located in the heart of Sucre, one block away from the city centre and within easy walking distance of all the main parts of the city. The school is a 2 story colonial with balconies, an interior patio, a small area to get a sun tan, an entertainment room, and a beautiful cafeteria "El Café Quito". The capacity is about 40 students at any one time and participants are about 50% from Europe and 50% from North America.

The Academia is registered with and recognized by the Bolivian Ministry of Education and is partnered with Alma College to offer Undergraduate academic credits. Quality is the hallmark of participation in the Alma College program in Sucre. Alma College, a highly selective liberal arts college located in central Michigan, is recognized as a Baccalaureate I school by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. A Phi Beta Kappa institution, Alma College is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.

Credit is awarded for all levels of study, from beginning to advanced levels of Spanish. All academic credit is fully transferable to other accredited colleges and universities. Students enrolling will receive from 12 to 18 semester credits for each completed semester in Bolivia.
