NRCSA: Utila - CAS Language School

The smallest of the three major Bay Islands, Utila Island lies closest to the Honduran mainland, approximately 18 miles from the coast, and can be easily reached from La Ceiba either by sea or air. The Tropical Ferry operates Monday through Friday, leaving from La Ceiba's municipal dock and the trip takes only one hour. The main town in Utila is known as East Harbour or simply Utila, and is located on the eastern side of the Island. Without question, the biggest attraction that Utila offers to its many tourists is its fantastic reefs combined with some of the least expensive dive courses in the World. In the NRCSA center in Utila, Spanish programs are offered in a group setting or on a one-on-one basis, the latter program being popular with business and medical professionals, engineers and research scientists, seeking accelerated and special vocabulary classes. The school is prepared to handle beginners, intermediate and advanced students. The teaching staff consists of select "maestros" (master professors) who are graduates of Honduran universities and are certified to teach Spanish as a foreign language. Students may study in La Ceiba or Utila, or both. In addition, the school can help arrange various tours to wildlife reserves, Bay Islands and other points of interest.
