Our mission

Nicas ELE is a Spanish language school owned and operated by Nicaraguans. Located in Granada, Nicaragua, Nicas ELE was created out of a desire to connect prospective learners to high quality Spanish teachers/lessons and to provide stability and fair wages to Nicaraguans who have experienced significant disruption and hardship in recent years. 

Political protests across the country in 2018 weakened Granada’s tourism sector, and the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 left it devastated. As the Nicaraguan economy relies heavily on tourism, many Nicas have seen their source of income disappear. Nicas ELE seeks to benefit teachers and learners alike and find new ways to connect to one another.

Inspired By Passion

" As long as I can remember, I have been sensitive to my fellow human beings. Their struggles become my struggles, their passions become my passions, and their happiness becomes my happiness. Nicas ELE provides connection: between student and teacher, tourist and local, Granada and the world.”
