Step 1
We start by listening
An interview with Karina or with a teacher from the team, and the placement test: fifteen minutes, free, no commitment.
Learn English by living it in England.
"What makes you different is what makes you special. English is not just a subject: it's a way of looking at the world."

Flagship programme
Immersions
in the United Kingdom.
Four weeks in Kent: a British host family, classes at an accredited school and a closing stay in London. Not an English course with sightseeing — a new life for as long as it lasts.

Who's behind it
The school that Karina Reyes built over more than twenty-five years in Hurlingham.
A University English Teacher with two M.A. degrees from the United Kingdom (Churchill House, Ramsgate and Bloomsbury International, London), Karina founded Saint Mary in 2000 with a simple idea: bring British methodological rigor to Buenos Aires's western suburbs without losing local warmth.
Today it is the only institute in Hurlingham with official representation from Hilderstone College, and it has taken students to Kent every year since 2012.
How to start
Three steps, and the first one costs nothing.
No signing up blind. First we find out where you are, then we build the plan.
Step 2
We build your plan
Group, level and timetable based on why you're here and how soon you need it. Never more than eight per class.
Step 3
You finish with something in hand
A Cambridge exam, a certified level, a prepared interview or an immersion in Kent. The question is always: what are you leaving with?
Registration open
Start with Saint Mary.
Choose where to begin: year-round classes or a UK immersion. The first interview is always no-obligation.
