Get Personalized QuoteThe core program centers on Spanish-language and cultural immersion, with 20 hours of Spanish classes per week, Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Classes are available from beginner through advanced levels.
Eligible advanced students may also have the option to attend a local high school in Buenos Aires when dates, language level and school availability align.
Yes, for eligible students with advanced Spanish. When dates, language level, the Argentine school calendar and availability align, students can attend regular classes at a local Argentine secondary school. Mente currently works with schools such as Washington School in Belgrano as well as other partner schools.
This is an optional academic-immersion path rather than something that starts every Monday year-round.
The High School Program is designed for students ages 15–17 who are still in secondary school. Participants are minors, so parental or legal-guardian authorization is required as part of the application.
Students who are already 18 or older can normally join Mente Argentina through the regular Intensive Spanish Program instead, with the full range of adult housing options.
No. The core Spanish-immersion program accepts all levels, including complete beginners. Advanced Spanish is only relevant if you want to be considered for the optional local high-school component.
High School participants live with a carefully selected local host family in a private room. Homestay is required for this program because participants are minors.
Breakfast and dinner are included Monday through Sunday. Living with a host family provides a supportive home environment, regular local contact and additional opportunities to use Spanish outside class.
High School students receive ongoing local supervision and daily support throughout their stay. Mente Argentina stays in regular contact with the student, maintains contact with the host family and can be reached 24/7 if something unexpected happens.
Students also stay connected through the participant WhatsApp group and are invited to Mente Argentina's Included Buenos Aires Experiences each week. Parents and guardians can contact our Buenos Aires team directly at any time.
The Spanish-immersion component can start every Monday and can run from approximately four weeks to a full academic year. If you want the local high-school option, your dates must also fit the Argentine school calendar.
Yes. Applicants must be ages 15–17 and currently enrolled in high school or an equivalent secondary program. The application also requires parental or legal-guardian authorization, two teacher recommendations and agreement to the participant conduct guidelines.
Our team guides the student and family through the process, so every document does not need to be ready on day one.
It depends on which High School pathway you complete and on your home school's recognition policy.
Students who participate in the local Argentine high-school option can receive an official Argentine secondary-school transcript from the host school, documenting their academic coursework and results in the same formal way used for local students. Students who complete only the Spanish-immersion option receive the relevant Spanish-program documentation rather than a local high-school transcript.
Your home school makes the final decision about how any coursework or credit is recognized, so pre-approval is recommended.
Argentina follows a Southern Hemisphere academic calendar. The main academic year generally runs from March through December, with the first semester around March–July and the second around August–November/December.
Exact dates vary by university, school and program. Some Mente programs also offer Spanish preparation before the formal academic start, which is why an arrival date may be earlier than the first day of university classes.
Booking is simple. Create your Mente Argentina account, complete the basic application with your preferred dates and program details, and pay the Registration Fee to secure your place.
You do not need to have every flight, document or accommodation detail finalized on day one. You can update your application as those details become available.
Most Mente Argentina programs do not have one universal application deadline, but places are first come, first served and availability can become limited, especially for accommodation and small-group programs.
If you already know when you would like to come, applying early gives you the best choice. If your preferred start date is close, contact us and we will tell you what is still possible.
The Registration Fee is the one-time payment that confirms your place with Mente Argentina and starts the enrollment process. You pay it once, even if you combine more than one Mente program.
Your Registration Fee remains valid for two years from the date it was originally paid. Within that period, you can postpone your program, change dates, switch programs or return to Mente Argentina without paying a new Registration Fee.
Yes. You can combine up to three compatible Mente Argentina programs during the same weeks, and we coordinate the schedules to avoid conflicts. Two simultaneous programs is the most common combination.
If you want to do four or more experiences, the best approach is usually to spread them across different weeks—for example, two programs during the first part of your stay and two different programs later. You can also mix durations, such as four weeks of Spanish with a two-week Tango or Cooking Program.
Usually, yes. Extensions are possible subject to space in your program and accommodation.
If you think you may want to stay longer, tell us as early as possible; around three weeks' notice gives us a better chance of keeping everything continuous. You do not need to decide before you arrive.
Academic programs have university or school calendars, document requirements and limited enrollment periods, so applying early is strongly recommended. Housing and immigration steps can also affect timing.
You can begin the Mente Argentina application before every document is ready. If your preferred intake is approaching, contact us so we can confirm what can still be completed in time.
Yes. International and domestic flights are not included in the program fee, so you book your own travel to Buenos Aires.
If your on-site package includes Mente Argentina accommodation, arrival and departure transfers are included at no extra charge from either Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) or Aeroparque (AEP). Send us your flight details once they are confirmed; you can secure your program before buying your flights.
It depends on your nationality, length of stay and program. Many participants can enter Argentina without arranging a visa in advance, while longer academic programs or some nationalities require additional immigration documentation.
Mente Argentina is registered with RENURE and can provide the documentation and guidance required for eligible student-residence or visa processes. Check the current Visa Information page or contact us with your nationality and program length before making immigration decisions.
Yes. Current Argentine migration rules require foreign entrants to declare that they have valid health insurance for their stay.
We recommend a travel policy that includes medical coverage for your full time in Argentina and, ideally, protection for cancellations, delays and luggage as well. You may choose any provider that gives you appropriate coverage in Argentina.
You will have a local Mente Argentina team in Buenos Aires throughout your program, including arrival orientation and 24/7 support for unexpected situations.
All on-site participants also receive the same core Mente benefits: a local SIM, SUBE public-transport card, gym access, access to Mente Argentina's exclusive Palermo Soho space and terrace, the participant WhatsApp community, and a rotating calendar of Included Buenos Aires Experiences.
Our team is based locally, so support is not just a phone number. You can reach us for practical questions, local recommendations, program coordination or help if something unexpected happens.
Your on-site program includes a rotating calendar of curated social, cultural and local experiences in Buenos Aires, with tickets and participation included at no extra cost.
Depending on the week, these can include theater performances, football experiences, guided neighborhood or city tours, bike tours, museum visits, Argentine barbecues, dinners, food events, happy hours and other paid activities around the city.
These are organized experiences designed to help you discover Buenos Aires, meet other participants and become part of the Mente Argentina community—not simply a list of free things to do.
