• Academia Don Quijote / don Quijote: don Quijote is one of Spain's most recognized Spanish-language schools for international students, with multiple campuses. While ESID teaches English/French and don Quijote teaches Spanish, both are Spain-based language school operators with multi-campus physical delivery and exam preparation focus.
