At Lacunza - Ih - San Sebastian we concentrate on rapidly and efficiently increasing your ability to communicate in Spanish.

We are members of the world wide organisation International House which has been dedicated improving the teaching of languages since 1953. We pay careful attention to all the details that contribute to an enjoyable stay: pleasant and comfortable arrivals, carefully chosen families, varied classroom and extra-curricular activities, central flats and, above all, a friendly staff who is always there to help you. That, with the enthusiasm and backing of students who already know us, is why Lacunza has succeeded in making studying in the North of Spain, and specifically in San Sebastian, the right choice.

Studying with us is the key to an unforgettable stay in San Sebastian, one of the most beautiful European cities! With its beaches, mountains, architecture, lively night life, cultural offerings, and close proximity to France and the Pyrenees, San Sebastian can enchant just about anyone.

INTERNATIONAL HOUSE (IH) is a world-wide organisation with over 140 language schools in more than 40 countries. Unlike other organisations, in IH, each affiliated school operates independently but under direct supervision from International House's expert staff. IH excels in the field of methodology and Teacher Training Courses and defines the standards and procedures in effective language education. As a member of the organisation, Lacunza offers an internationally standardized method of Spanish education. As a part of the IH network, we are also able to communicate with Spanish schools worldwide to exchange ideas and analyse the latest industry advances in methodology, internal training, management, teaching materials, etc...

Each year 60,000 children, teenagers, university students, professionals, executives, managers and pensioners choose to study at an IH school, and about 3,000 teachers take IH training courses. Many of the books that are used to teach English, Spanish, Italian, etc... have been written by teachers from IH. In Spain, together with schools in Madrid, Barcelona and Seville we have created the IH-Spain group to focus on an in-country standard for the teaching of Spanish. This offers students the unique ability to study Spanish in a variety of cities yet still be taught in the same, internationally acclaimed method.
