On behalf of our center, Ignacio Grande Ruiz, Director of Studies, attended.
Precisely this 2022 Lacunza Escuela Internacional celebrates 20 years as an Accredited Center by the Instituto Cervantes, becoming one of the first 10 centers to obtain quality accreditation. Accreditation that helps us to continue deepening, reflecting and improving the quality of all the services that we make available to our students.
Since then, each year more students take the official DELE exams (Diploma in Spanish as a Foreign Language) to certify their level.
There are also many candidates who go through our school to obtain their CCSE certificate (Constitutional and Sociocultural Knowledge of Spain), a requirement to obtain Spanish nationality.
For example, in 2021 nearly 300 students took the DELE exam with us and more than 400 candidates took the CCSE tests in Lacunza. Congratulations to all those approved!
