Loved It

Rating: 100%

We really liked the school. The teachers were great and it had a great community for travelers with cooking classes on Wednesdays and volleyball on Saturday. Plus there are other activities that go on in the community or within the host families. The host families and school are about 10-15 minutes out of the center of Cusco, which for some is a little inconvenient but there is one B&B style homestay in the center.

Amazing Experience

Rating: 100%

My husband and I spent a month in Cusco this summer learning Spanish through Fairplay. We loved our experience. The teachers were wonderful. They were extremely well trained and tailored classes to meet our needs. In a month we were both able to become conversational in Spanish. We stayed at the school and had a great time getting to know the family and other students from all over the world. John, the director of Fairplay was also great at giving suggestions for weekend and day trips into the Sacred Valley and other surrounding areas.

Flexible and reasonable

Rating: 100%

We just had a couple hours to spare and wanted to fit in a quick lesson for my husband, myself and our 13 year old son. Each of us had a one-on-one instructor, who took us around Cusco to develop our conversational Spanish. Excellent teachers and it is great to know that it is supporting single mothers around Cusco. Highly recommended.

You pay the teachers directly, so you know the money will go directly to those who need it most. John and Fanny are a Belgian/Peruvian couple who support the teachers. Way to go!
